Daylight
August 31, 2019
I’m waking
To the seeping lights above
Creeping through the hard-shut curtains
Slow and sneaky
Venomous and biting
It dances in my eyes, taunting
Of an impending day
It snakes upon me
Not a friend nor a foe
Only a familiar mark, aloof from pity
Of an approaching day
Light represents warmth and comfort
A beacon of hope for a day
A new day
But often
Silent and eerie
Sinister and cruel
Cold and disheartening
Swirling and twisting
Weaving and slicing
Prying and lifting
Until I open my eyes
