~My Morning,Nat King Cole

My Morning

you were asleep

steady breathing

like a sighing

lullaby

this morning

belongs to me

the quiet

patches of light

and the shivering sighs

of trees

outside my window

the steam

from my coffee
circles around me

in a secret smile

 
Nat King Cole’s

Christmas song
pistachio and lemon biscotti

tart and sweet

bring me back to simpler times
before the chaos

this is music
the wrap-a-round rift
of heightened emotions
his raspy velvet voice 
makes you feel love

when you don’t believe in it
yourself
