Brief Respite
In your dream,
You saw the coming of a new day,
Dawning bright and clear.
Everything would be okay
As rivers of sleep ebbed in the mornings early light,
Washing away
The fears of the day before.
Sunlight found its way
between your eyelids,
Lighting,
Brighting,
your clouded eyes.
And you saw that
Things were exactly the same
As before you slept.
