Sunrise to sunset

by firexdancer   May 18, 2007


I know i might be weak,
falling at the lap of waves touching my feet,
but even the small can stand up tall,
we don't always fall.

I know i might be blind,
i cannot see the colors but they play across my mind,
yet somehow, even as i cry the dust of tears,
even the sun can burn away fears.

I know i might be alone,
when all the others die, my star will still have shone,
but i can still feel the push of the crowd,
the screaming in my ears still so loud.

I know i might be in the dark,
can't find the way, though i can hear the larks,
but even at night some can see,
maybe one day that might be me.

I know i might be dead,
because i hear the voices in my head,
yet even a corpse can walk again,
can find it's way to heaven.

I know sometimes i cry,
because compared to living, it seems so easy to die,
but somehow i will find a way to be strong,
instead of being quiet, everyone will hear my song.

and I know i might be weak,
falling at the lap of waves at my feet,
but if you could just help me up, just once, hand in hand,
i know once more, i will be brave, when i can stand.

I know i can be right,
so please just hold me tight tonight,
afterwards the memories of me you can forget,
but please just help me now, from sunrise till sunset.

    I liked the repetition in the first line of your stanzas they really came across well. It strongly boosted the flow of your poem.
