First Night...

Eyes, Sleep and a Heart

You can’t wake up ’till you’ve fallen asleep.

You can’t open your eyes ’till they’re closed.

You can’t love without a heart,

And where you get get one nobody knows...

Death

Brittle, frail, crumbling,

life is fragile.

Yet, it’s allure and spell enchant the world,

bewitching even the firmest conviction in logic.

Captivating and enthralling,

life is only outdone by death...

To The Future

Surge forward,

run onward.

Rise and rush into every trouble,

taking it head on.

Nobody needs to listen to well-wishing caution;

not when adventure is so close at hand...

Wishing

If only sleep came as easy as closing your eyes.

If only walking was as effortless as putting one foot before the other.

If only believing was as simple as breathing.

If only the darkness wasn’t so abundant...
