Morning Glory Poem by Adryan Barnathan

In the tenderness of
early morning
I will wake
pretending
you are with me
even before my eyes
see the world
I will be with you first
and my mantra will be
''I love you''
everyday
to permeate
outward
into the air
until one day
you will feel me
as tangible as if I were
walking within your
every step.

Everyday
that you breathe,
my breath will be
in rhythm with yours

Forever...

I will greet the new day
with you
and keep alive this jewel
of love

And in my heart
I'll hold you
until death
steals me away from life

I will do this for you
everyday,
for the rest of my days
and take comfort
in knowing
you are
in this world with me

In this way
I will love you
for the rest of my days
and in this way
you will rest into my life.
