Before Lifting

[Marissacharles__]

The room has brightened just enough 
to feel morning’s presence. 
Her shy, grey light brings edges to the shapes
blanketed by darkness moments before.

Soon the day will rise, 
and you will be pushed 
      into movement, 
      into noise,
      into decisions.

But for now, 
you can drift
under the soft shield of sheets
as their creamy lavender hue comes into focus.

The fragile weight of sleep’s peace has not yet lifted.

This was beautiful, I loved the indentation of "Into movement" etc. A few very minor notes to maybe try and play around with removing some words and see if you can make it more punchy/impactful (Its already fairly short but its a fun exercise) I also find the idea of your sheets and blankets being a sheild of safety a great image 

"shy, hesitant, grey light brings clarity to the shapes

engulfed by darkness moments before." (I like the imagery of the blanket sheild so much I wouldn't want to use it in this phrase"
