| The Dreamer In Silence In all daydreams, in all my sorrows I have been known to be silent Amidst the cries, among the ruins I have many times cried alone A gift I bare, a burden to carry I keep myself in the shadows Awake in the darkness, asleep in the light My night is only my morning A death I have pardoned, a life I have endured I have not asked for either A gentle kiss, a tender breath My lips shall speak no more (March 25, 2000) Eric James copyright |
