(inspired by the poem 'Overcome' by Jasmin Whyte)
When was the last time I witnessed the dawn
when I was actually there to feel it enter my skin
and pierce me through to my spirit
When was the last time I felt awe
and surrendered and succumbed to it
When was the last time I believed it
Too long, too long I’ve been cloaked in darkness
How I long once more to be in the arms of it
To be awakened by its kiss
and gently aroused from my sleep
