I open my eyes
As reality stirs my consciousness
Still tossing and turning
Still wrapped in a calming warmth
Still awed by misty apparitions
Still hearing voices
In the silence and light of a new day
I am weak, starving, and lost
What happened to everything?
Where is my strength?
Why do I feel?
And what do I feel?
I wish I could just go back to that silent fallacy
That broken vision that seemed like it could last for eternity
Caught in the unceasing trance of the night
But now I have to get up and move on
Feeling like I haven’t moved in years
Not being able to open my eyes
For having them closed for all time
I seek retreat from the new day
But I am compelled to rise
Get my feet on the ground
And tread on
Dreams come at night
And days are meant to be lived
