Morning Dew

I was sitting on a rocking
chair at the balcony with my
hands gripping a cup of warm tea;
it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon
and I was descending to the depth
of my thoughts trying to lift an
anchor inside of me as I welcome
the rain to come and sit with me.

I thought I'd be able to catch
the golden rays of sun with you as
it sets on the eastern horizon—
we used to do this a year ago,
but now the rain sounded like
an old song serenading an old love,
comforting a tired soul in sorrow.

It's getting cold as I reach my
lips to the brim of my cup to sip
and the longer I sit, the colder it gets.
I miss your hugs in times like this,
and when dawn becomes another day,
I'd think of you as the rain who sat
with me and left a morning dew.
