The Night Before the Dawn

The Night Before the Dawn

Shaken from slumber,
I toss and turn
in hopes of spinning
the Earth
so tomorrow
might come sooner.
For, that is when
your strong light
breaks through
the dreary clouds
of the commonplace,
illuminating my life
with your brilliant
radiance.
Hurry!
My heart burns
with anticipation,
and has begun
to consume my body,
for our love
is stronger than
these fleshy prisons
we are contained in,
sending us on
a spiritual journey
beyond our own beings,
 but to a place where
we are one and the same,
yet separate entities
at the same time.
We flit in and out
of each other's souls,
trying to grow ever closer
to each other.

I awake with a smile,
knowing the beauty
the day brings.
