May 2013
Dawn breaks, and with it
yawns wake the dreary
bodies of those who
accept the foggy boon of
Sunshine.
Through dusty windows
          or glossy eyes
Desire envelops reality until
Realization drops
in the mind as a clear
glass of water
slowly spills empty.
Worry moans as
Coherence opens
its eyes to scold
the brilliant invader.
Thought takes hold
and dreams are discarded.
Who sighs?
Lifting his head, asking the light
          Who am I?
The breaking of lines in this poem is intentional to give the feeling of someone waking up. Also, many emotions we may feel in the morning are personified, as if this is a dreamy state. Enjoy.
