open

Watch
      as the sun tucks away the stars
      as the blue skies push through the fog
      as the mist we breathe abandons ship

Listen
      as the roosters remind the church bells to ring
      as the nighttime fun fades to daytime troubles
      as the dreamers break the tension between

Whisper
      to the dew as it hugs tight to the lawn
      to the light when it finds its dawn
      to your mirror before you yawn

Catch
    the stale air your lungs throw out
    the fallen stars that your sky shot down
    the lies at the end of your corridor

Embrace
      the thoughts you leave in the back of your mind
      the moon after it takes the tide
      the day before it fades and dies
