Dawn Again

Light peaks through the cracks. 
Dawn once more,
I lift my head, light softly caressing me. 
I pray for a new day before its begun, 
but the soft graze of light on my cheeks nudge me forward. 

I slept through your time of need, but 
my heart was closed, 
and now it's dawn again. 

How I wish you a good nights sleep
