## Each begins the same

---

*The night sky fell dark and deep
as the stars turned on one by one.
And in a fit-filled, fevered sleep
dreams of new possibility begun.*

*Taking breath with eyes shut tight
toward monsters behind the door.
Yet even when removed from sight
fear grips the heart evermore.*

*To nightmare dreams may fast turn
and drive brave to cowering shell.
Control comes in the power to learn
experience own still if owned hell.*

*Taking charge of life's worst dream
to know what means fully fought.
Waking in the mid of midnight scream
and the costs of hard lessen taught.*

*The light comes on before the dawn
while the stars are still shining bright.
And with stretch and wide the yawn
another starts with promise of might.*
