Snugly tucked
Under blankets of
A cool autumn morning
Blurry eyed
Songbirds chirping
Drizzling syrup
All over my plate
And my hands too
Gentle scolding
Followed by
Hearty laughter
My crinkled pajamas
Lifted up
Up
Purple pink mess
Daydreaming
Hand in hand
Out the creaky door
Silent hallways
But filled
with warmth
A blast
Of icy wind
Knocks my cheeks
in greeting with
a French pink flush
Holding tight
Walking down
empty lots
glowing lamps
Graying hair
Youthful smiles
Cool autumn mornings
With you
