NIGHT FADES TO DAWN
In
the darkness a whisper of tiny feet
heard crossing the room.
Silently attempting to climb up
covers slip from clinging weight.
Several bounces precede
soft voice stating "I want in"
and a small head pushes us
squeezing between our arms
only to fade instantly to gentle snores.
I smile as dawns light
slowly encompasses the last shadows.
