Towards the Dawn

Poem Artwork

 
We are specks of stars
atoms, neurons, within scars 
Together, alone we weep 
for the secrets we must keep 

Inside we hide our treasures
gleam of gold beneath pressures
Reality must be protected 
dreams denied and affected 

Soot and coal turn to diamonds
ignite for all the world will find us 
Strange, beautiful in light 
a future lost is now in sight 

I love you and you love me
simple as that can't you see?
Behind the curtains drawn 
behind it find another dawn

Where we set eachother free
to be who we are, you and me
For the whole world to see
take the toll and pay the fee 

Riders of the dawn 
light the match to spawn 
A new horizon after all
tell me you hear the call 

The call for glory
behind the story
Lost and found 
glory profound 

Trail blazer set our seed 
those in need we'll feed 
To the universe and back 
so we can lead the track

A revolutionary poem with its depth and breadth very skillfully presented. I would make only one change… In the last line, I would change, "… lead the track," with lead the pack.
