Silence before Sunrise
by DG
Finger over lips,
silencing and locking the Mystery within.
The secrets of the soul protected from profanity.
The phantoms of the spirit world arise,
whispering their secrets in my ear,
I reply with a message to you,
relayed by the invisible across the Unseen World.
Hoping my love won't fade with the rising of the sun,
when the dream ends and the mask of moonlight slips off my face.
Will the parchment burn in the sunlight, will it all melt away or turn to ash?
Turning away, I light my torch and walk into the Darkness alone,
its faint glow holding the horrors of life at bay,
without sleep and its promise of rest
if I can win this battle on this side of Night,
as I wait for the day when I can face the sunrise with you.

I just had to read this poem again. Like I told you before it touches home, but you already know that. I'm still fighting that battle and by the gods, I'm sooooo ready for the sunrise.
