Love Poem: Lead Me To the Morning

Lead Me To the Morning

The crescendo 
of love I’ve had before
Rushes through the air

The memories 
Of who we thought
I overcame myself with 

Lost in worship 
of each other
With the irreverence 
of a charlatan 
Tongue-in-cheek

Until the hands 
came apart
Closed alone
ending each piece

but melodies 
have a way of 
embedding themselves
when the music is gone

As the words fade
you forget the face
They aren’t as important
as the notes

Fueling a smile 
strong enough to part 
eyes closed 
to tomorrow

In moments
like this
Reasons to find 
the morning
Aren’t difficult 
to come by
