10:47am-april

She yawns, not yet here with me,
Today. Later along side close,
Brushing lightly or colliding
In our bed. But for now her eyelids,
Can’t decide on light, morning or night?
We are often on, off schedule and I think
Aloud, “what is the difference,
Between half asleep, and half awake?”
Its the direction,
That we take, into dream or wake.
We will always part ways,
together,
Her slumber and my
Open eyes day.
As close, as far,
As far can be,
away.
