Embrace slow waking:
sensing the light
but staying deep in covers,
gently waking, half dreaming,
planning, imagining
a day, a season, a life.
Rolling over, stretching
in the dim closeness –
preparing to rise in cool air
like a bud plumping on a twig
waiting for the earth to grow
green in sun warmed soil.
