A-Z Challenge

For the A-Z Challenge, we decided to post a new (original) poem every day!  For the letter "M," this poem is dedicated to friend and new mother, Nicole.

Morning

Outside the frostbit early morning,

Blue glinting streetlight,

Presses against the windowpanes of this old house.

But it cannot jam through,

To where we lay,

Huddled warm,

Zachary between us,

On the sprawling island of your bed.

Tender laugh,

An assurance.

That friendship shores us up,

Creates a place for new life,

And makes us safe.

Hey!  The fabulous Kate at My Next Life nominated us for another Liebster Award!
