Is it crazy?
To wake up in the early hours The rest of the family Still deep in slumber And steal a look at you, So serene and peaceful In the early morning sunlight Streaming through the window I drink in your loveliness The dark tufts of hair The gentle up and down of your chest My finger gently caressing your cheek As you breathe peacefully in your sleep The scent of baby skin Milky and sweaty Your tiny hands curled upwards in sweet surrender This time we have together is fleeting A version of you that will be gone too soon The surge of love that threatens To break through my wall Cascading through my heart With pure tears of joy Through the misty haze of tiredness I long to freeze this moment in time To hold onto the beauty of your smallness Delicate, soft, tender yet tenacious life Joy at was is And grief of what will be gone forever Too soon The ‘riot in my heart’ That is love Remains forever Lecco, August 2019
