Before, there was no time to think
thoughts which were mine alone
Sanity always on the brink
matter rubbing against the bone
Now, my head, in a fog so dense
seems stuck in lowest gear
But I’m driving through the darkness, on a train from whence
toward a shift into the clear
Then, when morning comes, with it’s sparkling dew
like a curious child, I shall start anew
pondering dreams my heart will send
of sunnier days, carried in on the wind
Oh, glorious sky of day
coaxing this darkness from where it lay
“Open your eyes,” I hear you say
Joining sun, you pull these blues away
All is well; my fears allay
Oh, velvety sky of night
soak this heart in brilliant starlight
make it sparkle; golden and bright
Unleash the dreams behind these eyes
as past and present become allies
I found myself today
I had been lost in the moment
as I walked toward a distant light
I looked upward to see the most brilliant blue
but not to feel it; I breathed deeply
without holding my shallow breath
Beauty filled these brimming eyes as
I stood before an ever-changing world
I saw the hope of my future while
the despair of my past faded from view
And although death’s darkness had
stolen irretrievable bits of my heart
life firmly grasped my waiting hands
Each night I hear the blare
of your horn, the rumble
of your weight, heavy like a snore
habitual in the darkness; but
if one evening, the din vanished
I would miss the thought of you
lumbering along the stillness, colliding
into the silent drift of my dreams
