Lead Me To The Morning



The crescendo
of love I’ve had before
Rushes through the air

The memories
Of who we thought
I overcame myself with

Lost in worship
of each other
With the irreverence
of a charlatan
Tongue-in-cheek

Until the hands
came apart
Closed alone
ending each piece

but melodies
have a way of
embedding themselves
when the music is gone

As the words fade
you forget the face
They aren’t as important
as the notes

Fueling a smile
strong enough to part
eyes closed
to tomorrow

In moments
like this
Reasons to find
the morning
Aren’t difficult
to come by
