Morning Dew


As points of light a glimmer
trapped in sparkling beads of dew
Fall slowly down my window
they create a clearer view

Revealing my reflection
in a frozen gaze of time
These teardrops of a new day
trickling down along with mine

This melted condensation
which now weeps onto my sill
Epitomize the heartache
of a life so unfulfilled

A life sans all tomorrows
but for memories of pain
A past so omnipresent,
there is no chance of escape

I’ve wallowed in the shadows
of this sorrow evermore
I’ve hid from every truth
that I no longer can ignore

I’m looking for an answer
I’m not sure I want to hear
To see what is invisible
is vision that I fear

The sun is gently creeping,
through this hazy twist of lines
Sparkling through the trails
that these drips have left behind

These sunbeams now upon me
I can rid this somber plight
The darkness ofdejection
now awash in brilliant light

Bringing forth a new beginning
filled with strength and hope
A brightly lit commencement
giving me the will to cope

The chance of opportunity,
we often are denied
Is sometimes right before us
if we open up our eyes

So long my friend of darkness
I have no more tears to cry
The sun is slowly rising,
and on this day, so will I

As I read this it was like listening to music that slowly got louder...and the end was so powerful and full of hope, yes, just like music.  Each minute is a new beginning.  Hug!

I’m looking for an answer

To see what is invisible

my favorite 2 verses...I am looking for a answer too, but am afraid to hear it
