Wherefore these dreams have dug the deepest well, <br />Beneath earth's sky to drown each day's new break; <br />A life that lives asleep dies when awake, <br />But in the lull of night no tears can tell. <br />Through sleep I've wandered dreams where love seemed real <br />Against life's loneliness: What hopes within? <br />To flee the day that dawn brings darkness in: <br /> For my whole life, I've felt how shadows feel. <br /> <br />I did not know what I was meant to do, <br />So hid away the day from truth's bright pain <br />Within a realm of nightlong dreams well known, <br />But hidden from the light - lost my life too. <br /> To be with you, my love, and dream again: <br /> No hiding from the dawn that dreams have shown. <br /> <br />-November 27,2005<br /><br />David Zvekic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/font-color-880000-how-shadows-feel-font/
