I'm exhausted and weary <br />but you're on my mind. <br />So goodbye dreary <br />you're the light that I find. <br /> <br />Can't sleep with you near me <br />nor when you are not. <br />Can't even think clearly <br />but I'm not distraught. <br /> <br />How funny to feel so <br />I'm actually glowing. <br />Don't know what's next though <br />but no fun in knowing. <br /> <br />The memories are so few <br />I wish there were more. <br />If only we knew <br />how to open the door. <br /> <br />I sit here and wait <br />to be called by sleep. <br />Don't want to debate <br />if we'll again meet. <br /> <br />Switch yourself off, dear <br />it is lullabye time. <br />Tomorrow grows near <br />and again you'll be mine. <br /> <br />(Itajaí,15 July,2008)<br /><br />Melanie Walendowsky Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-light-that-i-find/
