Day 26, Sonnet 26

When days begin before the breaking dawn

A quiet darkness keeps the fear at bay

Awareness of one’s breath with waking yawn

Helps calmness to sustain the looming day.

Then brightness comes and blinds the shaded heart

Which wished to stay where dusk and dawn collide

For sun reveals its many broken parts

Which glimmer in the beams of morning light.

But night will come again and with it, rest,

As fragile souls seek solace in the dark

Survival of each day is truly blessed:

The nightingale depends upon the lark.

Sleep soundly, for the days will stead’ly pass

And troubled hearts will find their time at last.
