Before the Breaking Dawn

The fire that may burn some day Captures the mind Leaves me stepping slightly to the side To see a different perspective A different view Of who I am What I stand to lose If it is indeed a fire that is so bright Then why has it a delicacy tonight Passion would just not be right It is something held respective Something that I choose Even if in the past I sang those blues So I ponder And in pondering the wonder is amazing To be me right now Right here Experiencing Sensing These feelings so frail Is so fascinating That I have to remember my feet are on the ground Take a good look around And realize I remain alone I vow to take that trip to that stone And come clean my feelings decades pent So I may finally truly love Before the breaking of dawn Has gone

† Once More We Find These Depths In Your Words Thus Spoken, Dear Precious Lucinda Price ˜ Tis Almost Troubling Amid Some Slight Measure ? Tasting For Lack There Of These Shards In Broken Glass Ever Present Within A World Which Produces An Endless Sea Reflecting Shattered Hearts As Dreams ? Not That This Be Yourself Yet Everywhere We Turn Tears Filling Eyes Overflowing Precious Lives; Trodden ? Beautiful Of Bittersweet Painting And I Am Well, Thank You ˜ Love, John

For half a second, I thought this was a poem about one of those weird "Twilight" books. Thankfully, it wasn't. =) There is a lot of powerful self-reflection in your lines. The need for clarity & freedom are at its peak. Excellent job!
