Yesterday my eyes only saw the North
So I started walking on that course
But today I can only see South East
I know that only that direction I will find peace
But wait, I am catching glimpses of West
I can't tell, which direction is best?
I need to see all around me today
So I can decide which path I should stay
Night to Day
January 14, 2014
Darkness turning to light
Forces my eyes open
Illness courses through me
Pretending it's not so
The light in the darkness
Open reluctant eyes
Me fighting the illness
No change from pretending
Move slowly through this house
Shadows becoming sane
Noise becoming the norm
Dreams to reality
House slowly waking up
Sane, no hint of shadows
Normal sounds and noises
Reality to dreams
Smiling face looking up
Sets my stomach at ease
There's no hint of the pain
I can accept the day
Looking up to smiles
Ease my upset stomach
My pain has stopped hinting
The day I can accept
Very nice- the last part of the second poem brought a smile and tears to my eyes at the same time : )
ReplyDeleteI think the Night to Day poem is awesome as well :)
ReplyDeleteBrandon, I am curious if you noticed the structure I did on the Night to Day poem.
