Shore Maiden

4:30, I stir with the sound of birds heralding the dawn.
The air is crisp as I sink deeper into the warmth of my bed.

My thoughts settle on a Mediterranean shore maiden.
Skin of palest olives, hair of ebony and the waning night sky reflected in azure eyes.

This Italian goddess occupies my thoughts these resent days.
A beacon in my predawn dreams.

As I return to slumber, I long to meet her and lead her into the light of day
