When I peered into the blush of dawn,
I saw only dreams,
But slowly my laughter faded,
As in my mind
I found the shadows left behind.
For in the misty light,
I found nightmares lie awake.
And so I wept
Because
The night was once edged in stars,
Where each shadow held a silver sheen.
But in the light of day, each precious gleam holds hands
With the shadow of its death.
When I peered into the shadows of dusk,
I saw only fear.
But finally my terror splintered
As through the doubts
I found hope flickered still.
For in the dying light,
I saw visions dance with dreams.
And I stood
Because
The day was once edged in mist,
Where each light held a shadow.
But beneath the cloak of night, the gleaming stars held promise
Of glorious things yet unseen.
