Dawn & Dusk

The noise in my head
Is finally gone
The winter nights
Are giving way to the dawn

The heat on my back
Is beginning to cool
And that pain in my chest
Is not quite as cruel

The fear at my heels
Is being left behind
And that knot of tension
Is starting to subside

I sit back on my chair
And simply breathe
Pick up a book
And finally, start to read
