Read Poem: Today, by Anthony Dalton

Today
It begins all over again
(maybe it continues;
I never quite know).
The day breaks
your smiles awakes
and my strength returns
as I feel my love flow.

I watch you
And I feel…
…so much…
What is it? This warmth,
This joy, that makes
my blood surge at the thought
of your touch?

Could I have been dreaming? perhaps I’m still asleep.
Are you a wraith, not real?
But I know…
I feel
This dream must be true
Because…yes – I love you –
Today.
