Sunrise Dreams

the most beautiful of dreams
wash over me at sunrise
washing over me in gentle streams
the moment I open my eyes
        remnants of the night before
        when I lived another life
        and wasn't me anymore
        nor experienced my strife
for a moment a hazy mist
so lovingly embraces me
then slowly intrudes the gist
of brutal harsh reality

I was falling into this poem as I read and then got to those last two lines and realized you are so right. The beauty of the sunrise does sort of disappear once the work day (reality) begins. But, there is always tomorrow when we can do it again. :) Loved this Christy. You are an amazing poet.
