THE BREEZE AT DAWN




The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
       Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
       Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
       where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open
       Don't go back to sleep.
