Each day you rise
because daylight is shinning.
But,
a dormant cell
in your mind
knows
about the darkness.
You're afraid of the dark,
where you can bump, stumble, fall,
hurt, hold on, but lose all.
You may die, the world could end.
Yet,
You allow
that tiny cell
to sleep
while each day you rise
while each day you rise
I like the idea of letting our fears sleep when we rise to face the world each day!
ReplyDeleteSigh.. so true that we each know that one day we have to face the end of the world and yet we allow ourselves that moment of peace when we sleep. Beautifully penned!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

The positiveness of a brand new day obliterates dark thoughts and realities for a time. Good poem.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and the title Myrna. It does seem that the night carries with it so much fear.
ReplyDeleteDark can not surmount this Light. Beautiful thoughts. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! To rise and not shine would be so sad that even I choose courage despite the dark.
ReplyDeleteNow this is courage I resonate with.....keeping on keeping on, ignoring the hovering dark, because the sun is shining. I love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said...Every dawn gives new hopes, opens new horizons. Have courage to unfold the wings! Great message and a wonderful poem, Myrna!
ReplyDeleteI love the title - in some small way even by waking we achieve this..i hear the effort this seems to take at times..your pared down language hints at a determination and a focus to keep on rising - which is indeed courageous
ReplyDeleteSleeping is trusting you will wake and waking is utter joy.
ReplyDeleteA very satisfying poem.
ReplyDelete"while each day you rise" a wonderfully inspiring line Myrna...we need to rise and let those fears sleep forever...
ReplyDeleteI felt emboldened by the idea of putting our fears to rest!
ReplyDeleteJust as well that tiny cell of darkness is allowed to sleep each day and we have the courage to take in the light and carry on! Nicely written, Myrna.
ReplyDeleteMyrna,
ReplyDeleteThere are many times when not all sweetness and light. in other times, the dark side can cause panic and fear. It's most welcome when we feel the guidance of a light to assure our worries...
