Very black skies, as the coffee

Brews and sputters.

I’m listening to Tori in

My blanket.

My lights all seem faded. But,

The house is clean. Mostly.

Feels good to

Wake up to.

Not as cold as it has been, and

The sun might come out today.

Babe, come

Walk with me today.

Let’s get 10,000 steps. Go see

The ocean with its crazy tides,

and cold breeze.

Maybe.

We can pick a nice place to snuggle

Beneath a driftwood shelter.

Then go get

Some ice cream,

and browse the boardwalk.

Bring layers.

And beach shoes.

We can hold

Hands, and walk.

Just enjoy each moment.

Under the eyes,

of a few seagulls and the

Occasional ray of sunshine.

Muah. Good morning, my love.
