If I surrender to sleep's soft seduction to escape this gnawing depression I encounter short-lived dreams that have grown far too sweet leaving me soured with bitterness beneath the harsh light of a lemon sun |

sounds like a paradox..escape to dream..dream to escape..awaken to see a lemon sun! I like this. Been there too. |

Oh how sad, when life holds no joy that one has to succumb to dreams that don't last long enough. Try taking that lemon sun and making lemonade and invite someone over to enjoy it with you. |

Whether these are your feelings or not, this is beautiful, and I have perfectly good reason as of late to understand and identify. Beautifully done. |

Thank you all. I simply expanded and stretched a bit here from some bad day feelings. A pleasant dream can make a bad day worse when you are smacked back into reality. |
