24 Hours

Hearts beating on a lonely drum
while birds capture the essence on their wings - 
soaring to new heights
new beginnings
an era of dawn.
 
Pulses playing an alternative beat
harmonies reflecting in the shards of our souls - 
splintering into needles of pain
an era of day.
 
Fingertips tracing a forgotten route
directing the mind on a journey of evolution - 
a process of spiritual change
an era of dusk.
 
Evening is here
night has arrived - 
the death of a day
of love;
peepholes in the black 	
only hide and hold everything back...
