From dusk till dawn

Earlier PoemsPoetry

I watch as skies above blush o’ shade of
tangerine red, as wary eyelids droop and
through tedious night are swept. In still-
ness and certitude my heart assuaged, 
deep midnight fields of woe; I smile as
dawn of thousand dreams (unspoken)
revive and rejuvenate.

    You have a way with words, Sanaa.❤️ At first, I thought I'd be reading a horror-themed piece (based on the movie, From Dusk Till Dawn) but I found beautiful, sweet piece instead..

    I like the idea of night being the time when there is a dawn when dreams revive.

    And that bright, bright, bright outlook you feed into your words is what I love about your words (and about you), my sweet friend.
