The Brightening

In the mornings, whence I wake
At first I see the moon
And then I see the smiling sun
Who brightens up my room

When, next, I feel the kiss of air
Upon my tender skin
And morning breaks above the dawn
Which makes the day begin

The forceful call of wakened "us"
Accosts the wakened lands
And logic clouds the truthful minds
That still where thinker stands

And all the day is spent like this
Inside a little box
Where creative minds are long forgot
And kindness often lost

And then the day will end the same
With puppets safe at home
Whilst they hide behind a name
And reckless wander roam

And then, once they have had their fun
The restless puppets lay
Upon their beds to sleep until
There comes another day
