The Break

Light breaks on ridged surfaces

Like ice melting in the sun

Reflecting into my world

Warming porches

To look at the expanse beyond

What do you see out there?

Get out of the shade

The break

The crest of the day

Light is coming

I reach

Stretch from the cold

My fingertips try to grasp for warmth

Tip toes to high places

I cannot reach

Come down to me

I plea

Waiting, trying, patiently

I will not run

Or hide away

I want the light

Cover me
