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
