In that moment <br />When awareness collided <br />With recollection - <br />The thunderous sound of dust <br />Burst into and through <br />The overwhelming, silent pause <br />That followed <br />And I swear I heard <br />A song dancing across <br />The breathless sky <br /> <br />My mind raced <br />Like wild lightning through <br />A forgotten time <br />When the stars were all blind <br />Locked as they were <br />Behind those reticent doors <br />Of nighttime <br />And I sensed awakening <br />As a dream was freed <br />In infinite sighs <br /> <br />I could believe <br />In the near impossibilities <br />Tangled up in truth <br />Escaping the pain of gravity <br />On invisible wings <br />Sprouted from the everything <br />Of before <br />And I knew then why <br />The world just seems to <br />Stop sometimes… <br /> <br />At sunrise<br /><br />Christine Austin Cole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barely-waking/
