I stirred awake Something had caused that my heart was lonely It wished for a light a light filled with promises and hope as dawn welcomes it on the horizon It wished for a breeze felt on my face on days when I did not have to put on a mask to stay safe It wished for a kind word when my thoughts sigh and need assurance, an unspoken promise as my hand is taken and peace radiated Quiet down your manling heart some dreams are not yours to dream and some words will never be whispered to your ears You must endure alone
