Still moments in the dawn When blankets still cover Dreams not yet stolen By Morpheus into his realm Soft breath slowing The wakening heart Beating fast in memory Between the conscious And unconscious tug of war Over if she is still here Or just wishful thinking Held tight by fear Beneath a hovering hand Holding over where you would sleep Pausing to linger with uncertainty Only a hopeful moment longer
