Book of Hours

Days Spent with You

I look out
and see the
greens
blues
yellows
pinks
oranges
and
purples
and every color in between
and think of you

the way the earth has seamlessly existed
is the way you are to me
ongoing and never-ending

a breath of crisp air
while the trees are the color of fire
and the dew sits on the yards
as the sun rises to say hello
welcome to the new day

that feeling is how I feel after spending
my days with you

summer nights while laying in bed and
smelling the smiles of the bonfire
and feeling the sigh of the day being over
from the warm breeze whispering
through my cracked window

that feeling is how I feel after spending
my days with you

spring afternoons filled with
a warm sky that is reminding me
of the snow melting and breathing life
into the ground

that feeling is how I feel after spending
my days with you

and winter evenings
with holiday lights glowing through the windows
and the earth taking a break for herself
and taking a nice long nap

that feeling is how I feel after spending
my days with you

I don’t think I will ever get enough of that feeling I feel after spending
my days with you.
