In dawns half-light,
half-dreams are born.
Half-shadow is where,
half-ideas start to form;
plucked from my mind,
they dance in my soul,
to blossom then flourish,
and make me feel whole.
Some like a sunset,
vibrant colours shout out,
others shy rainbows,
conditions coaxed out.
The hardest of all –
a verse like a thorn,
agitation and pain,
deliverance when drawn.
