Morning Vigil (Escaping the Darkness)

In the early morning hours
before the sun awakes
before dew lifts
as dawn ascends
comes the call...

"Love..."

My heart skips a beat
Is that really you?
I'd assumed I'd be alone
in early darkness...

"Love..."

It echoes in my empty soul
Chasing the chills inside
Breath escapes my lips
from night's captivity
at the sound of your voice...

"Love..."

Could there be a more beautiful name?
Could there be a sweeter word?
In near disbelief,
my voice falters
but your eyes beckon
pleading that I come to you...

"Love..."

Reflecting the light I see in your eyes
This joyous discovery engulfs me
This unexpected torrent of hope
I fall in your arms and whisper reply...

"Yes, Love?"
