The Dusk of Dawn

When I wake up in the morning 
In the middle of the night 
I wonder why, the dawn is so bright 
But still too dark 

I am a stranger seeking for solace 
A new seed that doesn't know where to sprout 
A free bird that doesn't know where to fly 
Like a free wind trapped between earth and sky

I enjoyed reading this one. Very descriptive and expressive work. I can feel the frustration and trying times in your lines. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my blog. Sara

Thank you very much... At times there are dusks and dawns and captivity and freedom trapped in uncertainties...
