Sunrise Smile

Sunrise Smile

Watching the moon rising from beyond the bubbling stream, which is steaming in the cool night air is like looking into your eyes through the mists of distance... and you are so beautiful to me... and, just like the moon, the distance can not alter or diminish you in any way.
I sit lurking under the darkness of murky shadows, waiting for the clear vision of your warm smile to bring light into the darkness of my soul, in nervous anticipation...like waiting for a beautiful sunrise over a darkened landscape...knowing in my mind's eye how beautiful it will be, the first blush of dawn reminding me of your tender rosy cheeks, yet the real wonder of your smile not fully revealed til it is before me, for not even the greatest mind can fully comprehend the joy of your *sunrise smile* until it is is upon thee.
Wonders when I reach out my hands to you, if you can feel it; and when I hold my hands in each other....wrapping four fingers of my right hand under the four fingers of my left and the thumb over them... if you can feel me holding your hands in mine. Wonders when I press my hands to my chest, if you can feel me touching your heart. Wonders when I shed my tears if you can feel the rain falling down...although there are no clouds... Wonders if when I call out your name and say "Sweet honey, I know it sounds so crazy to have these feelings so early, but I feel this from deep within my soul... I think I'm falling in love you"...if you can hear me.
A deep heartfelt sigh, as the cold west wind blows and dries my tears before they can touch your tender cheeks, taking my hand away from my chest, to reveal a snow encrusted long-stemmed rose, sparkling like countless stars in the first light of dawn. Placing it gently upon your pillow, and then slowly backing away, not wanting to disturb your sleep. Gazing at you from afar, in appreciation and admlration for who you are, awaiting your smile like the first light of the Sun after a long cold and lonely night and the sparkle of your eyes like the twinkle of the Morning Star.
Slowly departing, across the endless emerald fields of grass, teary eyed and overcome with the beauty and joy of what I just saw, my tear drops intermingling with the morning dew that you see when you venture outside, glittering with the brilliance of your *Sunrise Smile* bringing light to all the shadows upon the landscape and guiding me and keeping me warm upon my long journey home... the memory of you bringing me hope and comfort and something to look forward to til the next time we meet...
