(inspired by the poem 'Overcome' by Jasmin Whyte) <br /> <br />When was the last time I witnessed the dawn <br />when I was actually there to feel it enter my skin <br />and pierce me through to my spirit <br /> <br />When was the last time I felt awe <br />and surrendered and succumbed to it <br />When was the last time I believed it <br /> <br />Too long, too long I’ve been cloaked in darkness <br />How I long once more to be in the arms of it <br />To be awakened by its kiss <br />and gently aroused from my sleep <br /> <br /> <br />© 2009 Sonya Florentino<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dawn-s-awakening-inspired-by-a-poem-by-jasmin-whyte/
