The Battle The battle begins at dawn, Where indolence negates the morn. Where sleep and dream would delay, The slightest ray of coming of day. Down the sill it slithers in, Across the bed, it snakes within. A dragon breathing fires light. Burning up the dark of night. And torment, the final crime, Negation of the waking time. Brings anomalies to bed, To shake awake the playing dead. It's a battle of succumb The dumb sun and a mind of numb. It's a war cannot be won, For who can stop the coming sun? But war is war, a human plight, And this sleeper non to bright. |

The light is waning now beware another night is close from the door the light is fading fading into dusk. The morning rapture will rise again the battles sure to play with that poet Seymour as he greets another day. I enjoyed your poem, can you tell? How about a good cup of hot coffee? |

I agree with Elizabeth- you poems are always so eloquent and they flow so well, this is no exception. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |
