Awareness

I am aware when my skin is damp

I feel the wetness surround me

Whether it be from the autumn rain

Or an ocean swell

I am aware when midnight strikes

Darkness blankets the earth

From the deepest terrain to the furthest star

My concealed eyes observe nothing

I am aware when new beginnings arise

Scents of blooming flowers penetrate

I hear the buzz of honey bees hover

Hummingbirds sing in orchestrated unison

I am aware when you are true

When your bravery is portrayed with tears

When your lips meet my lips

Time stands still and is envious

When these two souls engage

However,

I am unaware how far I should place

thee dagger into thy heart

I only hope its puncturing depth

will relieve this heartache I’m in
