Saturday Morning Poem by Kristina Louisa Carr

There is a long road I never went down before
Where you greeted me with a familiar smile
I let your arms embrace me and keep me safe
Your eyes the color of blue waters meet mine
Like a lighthouse you guide me to your world
Within your wisdom you let me talk it all out
Until you fully understand why I hesitated

Your head imprinted in the pillow next to mine
The sound of the shower invading like a waterfall
I am contemplating to start this day with you right
Abandoning large arid regions of my soul as agreed
I will open my heart and hear all of your words
As the drops of water run slowly down your back
Undistracted I find a new solitude in your presence

Listening to your gentle words I think about love
As you reach for the coffee steaming in your cup
I am no longer waiting but conforming what you give
Tucking away the sorrows of long lost days in time
I can look at you now and let you walk with me
Down that long road with the construction sign
So my answer for your Sunday plan is - Yes
