Changes From Dawn

At dawn,I am awake; My eyes, open.
My legs,stronger; my courage, apparent.
The day unravels, the setting is clear.
I am surrounded by my room.
At dawn, I am up. I am wonderous.
At dawn, I dress. I prepare.
At dawn, I'm no longer scared.
Because at dawn, I see everything
for what it truly is.


but at dusk, I am sleepy; my eyes, slanted.
my energy, faded; my courage obliterated.
The night gets darker and I can no longer see.
I am surrounded by the emptiness within silence.
At dusk, I lie down. I am still
At dusk, I undress. I am vulnerable.
At dusk, fear consumes the best of me.
because at dusk, everything I see
slowly vanishes and is no longer in plain sight.

yet what difference does that make?
