'Opposing' When I Dream Deep

If I last another day longer than you, you WILL be in my memories. If not, perhaps I'll be in yours.  Blessings all.

As the mornings sun - begins to shine 
And memories of yesterday - I leave behind 
I get to see - another rising sun 
And store more memories - when the day is done
 
Thoughts in my mind- Which I hold true 
My life - what I've been through 
All those nights - when I dreamed deep 
My all-nighter's - I couldn't sleep
 
Remembering thoughts - from new, from old 
Good times, bad times - I still hold 
But tomorrow's sun - again will rise 
I may not see it - with my own eyes
 
For if I don't - and I... not awake 
I hope the sun - is yours to take
To let you dream - into the night 
Save your memories - see the light
 
That will rise again - with tomorrow's sun 
And leave you memories - when the day is done 
Your thoughts in mind - that you hold true 
Your life - what you've been through
 
But if you don't - your eyes...not awake 
I hope the sun - is mine to take 
So that I can remember you - memories I'll keep 
All those nights - when I dream deep 

GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES- YOU STILL HOLD 
REMEMBERING THOUGHTS- FROM NEW, FROM OLD 
YOUR ALL-NIGHTER'S- YOU COULDN'T SLEEP 
ALL THOSE NIGHTS- WHEN YOU DREAMED DEEP 
YOU'RE LIFE, WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH 
THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND- WHICH YOU HOLD TRUE

Oh my, this is a heartfelt and profound poem, dear Charles.. We often wonder this way, because none of the future moment is guaranteed in this life and tend to think if there will be another day when we can see the sun shining and the moon melting along the horizon.. You've conveyed such deep emotions here with an evocative insight.. I absolutely loved reading this.. Sending you light!

This is soul Touching and so well crafted in a lyrical manner. I felt the depth of your lines and what you’ve conveyedZ i guess at this time of the year so many feel this way. And will resonate too. I can feel the sincerity of your words from this and loved especially “I hope the sun - is yours to take To let you dream - into the night Save your memories - see the light” so evocative: sending you light always
