Pondering Slumber

PONDERING SLUMBER

In the soft shadows before dawn
When it is not yet day
Nor is it night
The stars slowly turning out their lights
My pulse quickens as i awake from my slumber
My mouth dry and grit in my eyes
The world is silent waiting to be awoken
Buds of flowers slowly uncurling
I wonder what the new day will bring
As i lay in my slumber
My mind begins to ponder
Do others think as I?
Can we think without a thought?
Can we reason without a reason?
Can we love without being loved?
I stretch my limbs as i ponder,
A new day something new to wonder
Yet there is one thing i am certain
And will always remain clear,
That in my end of days,
When my years are numbered
I will be happy for what i know,
And happier yet for what i dont.
