As darkness thickens
into a mass of impenetrable silence
and moon fades from sight
of budding dreams
Should I make-believe
I have the choice
to grasp the dawn
Shall I rise
from the night
where darkness thunders loud
and the waves come
crashing down on the fallen
too hard
Shall I rise
to catch my falling self
in mid-air.
