Slowly I wake and I open my eyes,Adjust from the darkness to sharp morning light.Remnants of dreams fade away with each breath,Disappearing before I can take my first step.Sounds from outside navigate to my ears,Stumbling forward - a vision appears.I stop in my tracks unable to move,Overwhelmed by the vision shining so true.T...
