Awake

The sun slips beyond my troubled past,

Making way for moonlight's new beginnings.

Like the wolf howling up at the night sky,

I vulnerably release myself...

Trying to find my own pack.

I dance in the darkness of my soul,

Hoping for a reawakening.

My motions blow away the dust that gathered there,

I can see the colors of my future

Painted before me in purples and blues.

Dawn breaks and feeds my spirit;

I drink the sunlight and let it warm my body.

With eyes closed, I finally rest,

Sinking into my bed of peace,

Dreaming of my newfound promise.
