Before you step again into the world

Before you quietly and almost mechanically

put on a mask – a spell hiding your secrets –

take a moment and let the light

wash away your never-ending nightmares,

the grey painted picture,

the sad man living

in the corner of your mind

and embrace your being

and step confidently into the light.

Let this morning light be

your every new 24 hour story.

And when you open your eyes, remember –

you choose how you see the world around,

each and every day…
