[hometext] => just a little piece of work
[bodytext] => Daybreak By Jim Hellekson There once was a man who lived life large and believed he couldn’t be beat. Who danced with the moon the stars and the sun and asked the heavens bow at his feet A man who took life for granted and believed “friends” would always be there And forsook the ones he loved without a second glance or care. He lived this way for many years, believing his ideas were right And laughed at those who said he was wrong, casting them from his sight But chance is always certain and every sun is destined to set And sitting alone on night he realized that he was now paying his debt. The price of ignorance and the fees of a fool A debt somebody so empty is unable to pool And there he sat all night, praying the stars show him the kindness of old Alone and empty, with just the stars and the terrible bitter cold The chill only an empty soul can feel, when all light is lost When nothing but fear and anger are left, and all coated with frost The night drug on and sleep was not a welcome guest And believing this was the end, he closed his eyes and accepted his failed test When to his surprise a strange warmth grew and filled his empty chest And as he opened his eyes he watched the sun rise, and realized his debt was put to rest This man was given a second chance to right the wrongs of a foolish life And he did just that, filling his life with love instead of empty strife We all must face the cold and dark that comes with every night But being alone is so much worse than any darkness we may fight And as for forsaking love? That poor man grew wise. And realized that someone who cares, this Earth has no greater prize.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
