Monday morning…about to head out in the pre-dawn frozen morn.
I will take thoughts of you with me, visions and memories.
I will mark the miles with a recollection of soft talks we had, mark the miles with a sigh and a quiet smile.
There were some great days, some even greater nights. There were moments to write home about, and some best left to whither and let to be carried away in the winds…
This will be a good morning…to watch the sun rise on a wintery world, watch the mist rise off of rivers, and paint the valleys with fog and frost.
I think perhaps the spirits of loved ones lost do join with us on such foggy morns…and hide in plain sight…and I can feel their warmth, a gentle caress, a sweet knowing there is life in the beyond…On foggy days, I can feel the love.
Monday morning calling out to me, out to have a warm cup, a frosty rear window, and misty breath in the morning air…
Monday morning, I look forward to you, every minute is an opportunity to make a difference, to be made to grow…to be among others…and to share a knowing smile.
Monday morning, I know that you’ll meet me half way and rest easy on my shoulder, and I on yours…
Take care, stay safe and I hope the breezes are at your back, and the sunrise is kind…MLL
