Breaking dreams into daylight

Remembering dreams
Waiting for me to recall
Dormant hibernating
Scrambling for daylight
Somber sad solemn
Watching them
Tumble to daylight
So long unremembered
Left to languor
In some subterranean
Part of my soul
Sunlight sun bright
Bringing to light
Denied me
A star to guide me
Day’s treachery
Start anew
No premonition
No wish upon a star
Abandoned night lifting
Left with a day
Bereft of informed self
The past throbbed to enlighten
With the sun exposed
To the day’s treachery
Never a dream To forewarn or to shape
The breadth of what was
Left unremembered
Shattering and breathtaking
