I search the dawn each morning
I can close my eyes and still feel it
as it warms my heart with hope
as gradually as it rises
until it's pouring in my windows
sending colors sparkling
and my eyes dance with life
and laughter spills over
a rush of love
I am so thankful
so very lucky


And then night falls
gradually dimming to shadows
then darkness
I ache
It seeps into my soul
finding all the empty places
inside of me
that swell with each shakey breath
throbbing painfully
and when I close my eyes
I pray I won't drown in the darkness
before I reach the dawn


To capture and live a moment is truly living

===============
beautiful imagery laced with achingly beautiful melancholy
well written and expressed dream keeper
cool contrast between day and night, dark and light.
well done

Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.

it's hard to not fear the night. . . but you must not let it control you. . . I've learned this recently. . .

excellent poem. . . I love the images that you use here. . .
