Darkness and Light
Beautiful Dawn-
how fair thee?
How did you sleep,
did you dream?
Did the Sandman
find you in good health?
Did he bring you
your desires, your wishes?
Did he free you
of nightmare visions
so you could rest easy?
Not I, he did
me no good at all.
I dreamt of hell
a house full of cockroaches
crunching beneath my feet
And a love never meant
to be.
The years have done me
no good
Just left me with
this desert dry land
my private wasteland
that makes me broken promises
unfulfilled wishes
and dreams I will never reach.
Oh, beautiful Dawn!
Alas, let me look in your eyes
and glimpse into a world
I can never live in.
Let me smell the flowers
of your happiness
And feel the presence of
your God.
For I lie in the dark
shadows of the night
And will never be able
to bask in the beauty
of the day.
