Autumn Morning Aubade


We swing together,
side by side,
my head resting
upon your shoulder,
today's newspaper
in our hands as
we share snippets
of articles,
make easy conversation,
last night's passion
smoldering away and
we are comfortable-

watch
ruby red leaves
rain down from my trees,
hear
birds sing simple tunes,
my son's footsteps on
the deck above,
my daughter's giggles
as she swings on
the tree swing and
talks to her doll...

Our time together
has come to an end
as the sun rises higher
in the brightening sky.
You stand and stretch,
tell me you have to get
to your son's
football practice,
and I nod.
I also have
my to-do list
stretching
ahead of me.

One last embrace,
one lingering tender
closed-mouth kiss
to get us through
the day apart.

The misty morning
has broken~
Yes, darling.
take care
have a good day
call you later
I'll think of you
(my love)
(every single moment).

But I just say
~goodbye~
and walk upstairs,
the leaves swirling
at my feet as your keys
turn in the ignition.
