Another day awakens <br />Shade my eyes, laden with unshed tears <br />Against the harsh glare <br /> <br />But the warmth does feel good <br />Tells me, I am alive <br />And haven’t given up the good fight <br /> <br />Exhausted sleep makes it so tempting <br />To crawl back and foetally embrace <br />Instead of rising to another bleary morn <br /> <br />What the day will bring, I wonder <br />Rough and rushed tokens of hidden agendas <br />Or stolen moments, of light, love and healing.<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-day-awakens/
