Poem
Today I had a nightmare and woke up alert
Just in time
I woke up afraid and searched in the dark
For someone with your warmth
And I remembered a time
Because the past brings me a memory
Of when I was a child
And fear was a reason to cry
An excuse for a hug or some comfort
Today I woke up afraid
But I did not cry, nor did I ask for shelter
From the darkness, I saw an infinite space without present
Past or future
I felt a strong embrace, it was no longer fear
It was something of yours that remained in me
Suddenly, we realize that we have lost
Or are losing something
Warm and innocent, that gets left behind on the path
Which is dark and cold, yet also beautiful
Because it is lit
By the beauty of what happened just minutes ago
Today I had a nightmare and woke up alert
Just in time
I woke up afraid and searched in the dark
For someone with your warmth
And I remembered a time
Because the past brings me a memory
Of when I was a child
And fear was a reason to cry
An excuse for a hug or some comfort
Today I woke up afraid
But I did not cry, nor did I ask for shelter
From the darkness, I saw an infinite space without present
Past or future
I felt a strong embrace, it was no longer fear
It was something of yours that remained in me, endless
Suddenly, we realize that we have lost or are
Losing something
Warm and innocent, that gets left behind on the path
Which is dark and cold, yet also beautiful
Because it is lit
By the beauty of what happened just minutes ago
