Into the Dawn

As I stood staring

Staring at the stars

The endless sky spread above me

Below me, nothing but naked blades of grass

And I sat thinking

Remembering the left behind past

Most of which I wanted to forget

Albeit some moments which I wished would last

As I lay mystified

Wondering if this was it

Whether there was more that I could have done

Or had I done my bit

And I found my heart discovering

Courage to again stand up on my feet

It was time to start afresh

And wake up from the dream
