One Day We Wake Poem by Barry Middleton

One Day We Wake

Rating: 5.0


The dream of youth
is to live forever.

Because it is a dream,
it is not real.

One day we wake
to see the light

streaming through the window
at dawn.

The glare is given a voice
that cannot be silenced.

The voice is muted,
a shadow of dancing memory.

It is a nagging whisper
that follows the shadow.

Deeply introspective and philosophical musings. Thanks for sharing, Barry. You have not been around since long. Hope everything is fine.
