Your Eyes At Sunrise

As your brown eyes fluttered in the candlelight 

I knew it was time to call it a night 

But the sound of thunder 

Shook the blanket we sat under.

3 AM rain ain’t the kind of terrain 

You want to be sliding down the fast lane 

So I suggested the couch keep you warm

Until the end of the storm.

You thought of your dog at home 

Whose legs probably needed to roam

Then figured his considerate fur 

Would hope you’d wait ‘til the roads weren’t a blur.

Gave you the rest of the fuzzy blue 

Initially gifted by you 

Before lying on the space next door

Whispering for you to have sweet dreams in store.

Your soft steady breathing was richly relieving, 

A peace beyond any peacemaker’s conceiving 

And I felt all of life harmonize 

When I saw your eyes at sunrise.
