Slice of Life: Day 5--"Early Morning Light: A Goodbye Poem"

This month I am participating in the Slice of Life challenge sponsored by the Two Writing Teachers website and blog. Join me!

Early morning light

I've been soaking you up

Living each minute, extended

Appreciating each glance

Of your bright rays



Knowing that next week...

Daylight Savings Time

Will swallow you whole

Leaving me to drive again, alone

In darkness



Light that we've wished for all winter

Waited for

Looked for

Anticipated...

Gone.



One hour shifting

Makes all the difference

Between enjoying you

On both commutes

And seeing you briefly at lunch for the first time



My classrooms are without windowns

And I've loved having you

Morning, noon, and afternoon

I'll have to settle for the wait

Again



Watching as you slowly, but steadily

Creep towards my leaving time

Encouraging me

Reminding me

Summer is coming!
