Before Dawn



In the early morning hours
Long before the day’s first light
Thoughts left over from a dream
Another sleepless night
Fading like a photograph
You kept for all these years
Trying to see clearly
But blinded by your tears
Searching for some meaning
Reasons to explain
What you cannot understand
Efforts all in vain
Coffee for the cobwebs
As your day begins to start
Love survives when all else dies
Safely inside your heart
