Alone in the Wakening
At Dawn
As the early sun rises
I notice the cracks in my house
Resurface in the ignited rays of a new day
Though still apparent when shrouded in the dark
Of an evening spent dreaming
Sometimes enlightening
Sometimes chaotic
I wake to find my house still
Blanketed in the shadows of pre-dawn
But I know the light is coming
Like a reminder
That every day is a new beginning
And that here by myself
Alone in the wakening of the day
I am reminded that there is yet another
Waiting for me when the sun sets
And then returns to me again
