At Dawn

The dawn broke
with thoughts
raging furiously
insisting on response
capturing my being
now a prisoner
with no escape route
an accessory before and after the fact
plead I for freedom to engage the heart
on its destined course.

Debby, Slow down emotionally, don't be on a headlong collision with your soul, engage the heart Sis. and free your thoughts. Please, don't give up on your destined course, for I can see a bright future in you.
