Take With the Morning

These burgeoning dreams
like the candy coating on everything
I'll take with the morning

And if my north holds true
I'll arise and murder the gloom
and go without a warning

Put your hooks into me
and I'll throw out my anchor
do my damndest to plant my feet
but I'm a fool needing to run free
like a wild animal endangered
but I'm sorry for the things I couldn't be

I will follow the sun west
never stray, never stop, never rest
I'll take to the morning

And should my way detour
I'll follow the stars to the shore
dance in the sun's first warming

Trace the footprints on your heart
you’ll find they lead right back to you
but don’t let it tear you apart
me I’m back here at the start
of the morning I took to
but I’m not sorry for feeling that spark

And these burgeoning dreams
like the candy coating on everything
I will try to leave to the morning

Souls, Yesssss..I LIKE, especially that 2nd
stanza..'murder the gloom'..if only.
Wonderfully written song-writer-Poet.

Enjoyed,
