I Wake

I wake each morning with a thought in my mind

A single statement that takes me through my day.

I sigh and I rub the sleep from my eyes as

The images resurface from lands of fae.

 

I wake each dawn with a rememberance

Of sweet dreams where light shines

Brighter through misty veils and shadows

Of the moon's cold beautiful rays.

 

I wake each morning with a feeling

In my heart that takes me to the

Place I want to spend the rest

Of my life, all of my natural days.

 

I wake each dawn with a single sentence

A secret wish, a secret dream

For the memory of those beautiful

Night visions coming all this May.

 

I wake each morning with a thought in my heart

That single statement that takes me

Through my days until night falls

And I can no longer keep that thought at bay.
