it’s dawn
it’s always dawn on this road
I walk to the east
hoping to catch a glimpse
of the sun
of the light
but it never rises
it never sets
it’s always dawn
hope for a new day
that never comes
the flowers yearn to open
and welcome the day
it’s always dawn
so I walk along on this road
never ending
never changing
dawn is all I know
a light in the woods
catches my eye
the nymphs and fawns
frolic and dance
dancing in glee
for they see the sun
just there
on the horizon
so I leave this trodden road
eager to dance
to live
to be free
free from this ever present
ever crushing
dark of dawn
I glimpse the sun
I feel the warmth
I see the light
I dance!
two left feet and I fall
no more I see the sun
no more it’s warmth
no more the light
the dawn is all I see
and so the road beckons my return
I know this road
I know this dawn
a darkness that I have been part of for oh so long
the darkness that I have
will keep the light at bay
will keep the warmth away
and so I return
to the road that entraps
it’s always dawn
walking
wandering
wishing I could leave
praying I could just stop my feet
but the sun never comes
the light never shines
the darkness of dawn
binds my fee to this path
binds my soul to this road
and so I yearn for the road
I wait for the dark
hoping for night to come
to finally come
and end this waiting
waiting for the light
