RESTLESS AT DAWN

The dawn is yet to break

The darkness of the night is still here

The birds chirp in anticipation

The creatures of the night move away

Waiting for the morning sun

My restless heart is weary 

DARKNESS AT DAWN

Hot summer dawn

The rain patters outside

The sun has not yet risen

Dark clouds fill the gray southern sky

I am wake!

My mind is still benumbed!

Thoughts come and go

A dark feeling sinks in

In the horizon; there is a glow

Yet! Surrounded by the darkness within

I do hope for a sunny day!
