Unbeaten

Unbeaten

Shhhh

It is time to close your eyes
and dream a dream of open skies,
flowered fields and fluffy clouds,
what waking world withholds.

Shhhh

Inhale the air of the free
while darkness travels through,
to claim all that it can reach,
so bury your soul deep.

Shhhh

There you can be just you
without the burdens of longing,
to hold you in a fevered hole,
that you occupy with grace.

Shhhh

Dancing upon the sunshine
that burst outward from far within,
to blind the keenest of eyes,
and own the hardened heart.

Shhhh

Your morning is soon to arrive
as light tears through the shade,
to engulf the walls that bind,
and warm the mind to wake.

Shhhh

Eyes flutter and shake night
away from memories that fade,
into the version of you before,
as new you becomes the only.

Shhhh

There is no need to scream
and no need for thought at all,
to the nightmare that just was,
as each day starts anew.

Shhhh

Ready for come what may
as the devil raises sword high,
uttering with finger to your lips,
a whisper to stay his hand.

Shhhh
