Morning sky, fades in,
Blissful dreams of the night cave-in
Returning awakened days,
Regretful moments continue to stay,
Void of desires and needs,
Things I have yet to achieve
Awaited evenings; calm, warm skin,
Hope for the next day to win,
Hidden behind the radiant sky,
Lies a sea of stars left forsaken,
A cosmos screeching an unheard cry
A citadel holding all sleeping creation
Within deep slumber lies home
Where deep thoughts await to be grown
Another world, out of sight
Only to be found within the night
Unconscious celestial wonder,
In time to be uncovered
Restful evenings like these eclipse the seams
Opening a portal to enter my dreams
Hidden behind the radiant sky,
Lies a sea of stars left forsaken,
the cosmos screeches an unheard cry
Citadel of sleeping creation
