Lucid Dreams

Betwixt the grayness of dawn
Of dark rimpling over light

Eyes half open,
Eyes half closed

Your face before me
An image of such beauty

The sadness in your eyes
A grief so profound

Such tenderness in the soul
Wounded and broken

Uncried tears of pain
Wash over me

I quake of sympathy
Shutting out lucidity

Daylight stares
I am wide awake

...you are gone

- - - - -
I do not understand why these things happen ...
I cannot pretend to understand them all...
How I long to take this pain away from you...
Or if you would just allow me...
To atleast share the sorrow that haunts you...
