waiting for sunrise

by James Morehead

the sun will speak in whispers today
of magic and dreams and beauty
splinters of light will draw as forward
to a meeting place high above feathery clouds
the same golden bands that bring us together
wait to unite us for a wondrous journey

it is early still as i wait for sunrise
patient and calm in still summer darkness
i close my eyes and feel that gold
your slender hand in mine
our souls swirling weightless
a dream that escaped the prison of sleep
floats alive in the rising dawn

for Mary on the day of our wedding
