My body wrenchs from sleep
my eyes opened to new morn
a kiss from new sunbeams
lovingly replace the nights scorn

I sit gently into the new day
and hug myself "good morning"
I am myself again at home
I am loved and I love

My memories slowly return
filling the void of dreams
My life fills me yet again
till i am again what i seem

My nightmares return
I am truely alone
I am not love do not love
the sun never shone

My memories are mine again
death, death and loneliness
make me once again whole
once again merely pieces

I yearn to return
to the void of the night
to the abyss of forgetfulness
to where im beyond sight

But i must rise
for the monster must be fed
life must move on
It is as they always said


Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I do know how this feels...it's better to dream sometimes than to wake up

you know what they say my friend...
"tis darkest before the dawn"
and yet...I know you fear not the night.
An achingly beautiful write poet Paul,
as always, your rhymes move me.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
We fell them down and turn them into paper that
we may record our emptiness.
