I cannot find my way
I cannot awaken yet
I can almost remember
I can feel myself
constantly drifting
back and forth between
the darkness and the light
the ocean and the sea
the sunset and the sunrise
the embers and the flames
I used to tremble
at how the unknown
silently and slowly unfolds
and how the clocks
suddenly stand still
how the mirror quietly shatters
and the moon hides her face
the sea no longer sighs
a deep cold settles within
now another day begins
