somewhere between daydreams and the shadow of night or rising as the sun and moon life comes in shapes and colors the rainbows of my thoughts where time is terrible to please battling with the pulse of my heart.
I can't say how often I thirst or hunger for the shade of nightfall while I mourn in the sunrise O' it's like being drunken and sad even the sunlight seems to tremble in the thunders of this insomnia but here in the lines of this poem you can't see my weakness nor weeping.
evening brings its bell of darkness scattering dreams like a field of stars hills of wild flowers blooming in the rain they seem to sing like song birds time is holding both day and night firmly stretching its fingers across the universe it lies so strictly without chains or threads.
