Ink black morning
Before false dawn
And false life begins
To corrode the coming day,
Wrap me now in solitude

Leaving the edges untucked
The final knots untied

So that if I decide to stretch,
Shrugging off the blanket of isolation

I can free myself from your
Comforting embrace.

The sun always rises…

And brings with it the day,

Filled in its stretch from
Rise to set, with some semblance
Of honor or pale reflection of integrity
To be decided in struggle with
Demanding expectations
Paraded before your eyes


Ink black morning
Hide me again,

but leave the edges
Untucked and free,
for in few more minutes
I must stretch
and shrug off your comfort

Ah, the feelings of this are felt by many, but not always expressed quite so well...

Bravo!

You stretch my imagination with every word you pen my friend.  
Now get up and stretch, letting that blanketing isolation fall by the wayside as you walk this land with head high in grand anticipation of life.  
Phew! You DO inspire one

Cpat--It is important to have space to stretch...But, sometimes I'd just like to stay in the comfort of all tucked in.  
I enjoyed your poem!

To dream, perchance to never want to awaken into the cold dark reality of life. Wanting to, but so lost in the wonder of fantasy...... ahhhhhhh!!!!! I may not have the right meaning to this... but, it carried me away to a place where I've been before. Enveloped in soft light. See what this work of poetic art has done to me?   It has me afloat on a soft breeze. I applaud   with much admiration~ Love and peace ((~.~))

Cpat-
   I agree with Martie...staying comfortably
   tucked in is kinda nice sometimes.  
   I really enjoyed the whole idea of this.  
   Nicely done.

an enjoyable read,
like the subject matter,
another yawn and self debate,
to rise or snooze and be late

Like this, though I can't seem to come up with a brilliant comment.
