the awakening

The doors to this room were all closed,
Its chambers working in a gloom untold,
Dreams I dreamt of yesterdays,
Thoughts of tomorrow never crossed me today.

It seems I had ceased to be,
Oh! As a blessing you came to me,
You opened the doors and let the sunshine in,
And told the heart " glow within",

The dreams came back to me,
The thoughts of tomorrow and a gaze in to the sky,
All came back by and by.

I dare to live again,
And live I must,
For the warmth of your love,
Shall hold me,
Till I reduce to earth n dust
