The world lay dim a whisper seeking day
The morning staggered losing all its way
But then you stepped into the fragile gray
And suddenly the light remembered how to stay
Your warmth ran gentle through the waking air
Your breath rewove the sky from pale despair
The silence softened under how you care
And dawn itself knelt down to meet you there
You touched the window and the shadows fell
The colors rose like stories we could tell
Your presence broke the night’s remaining spell
And taught my muted heart to beat as well
So come whenever daylight starts to fade
When dreams grow tired and hopes retreat to shade
For every time your steps through morning stayed
My world stood brighter by the warmth you made
