The Sleeping Conscious

Awake and beating to the sound of the sky,
Through smoke the light rises,
Out and in the sound of vibrations,
Watching and listening from low, from high.

The darkness resonates around:
It follows and curves between and in,
It waits to see to start to begin.
Yet they are not in tune to the sound. 

Now you see that it has gone,
A time when all but one gets old;
Found then lost, the hearts will fold,
But now with you all is won.

The light drowns out all else but me,
The swirls dart and shadows flee.

Thank you ever so much! I'm pretty new to this. I'm only 18, and thought I'd just have a bit of fun sharing my poems. With rather tedious amounts of school work I've fallen out of my habit of creative writing, but this really is the perfect way to rediscover it. Nice to meet you
