The Light That Binds Us

Early light arrives
on robin-winged melodies,
the sweet scent of May-grey
dew fresh on the sill.

The rhythm
of our breathing
takes flight on the breeze
as we lie coiled
like ribbons and roses
on morning satin.

In the miracle of dawn
an ambient silence
surrounds our caress,
a sated quietude
in these ivory shadows.

Embracing this misty dream-
this cascading paradise
of earth's waking purity-
we consume its lucid sheen.

It is the light that binds us
with an assurance of certainty-
a silent secret we own.
