Day and Night

The day breaks 
And takes me into the world. 
Duty leads to action, 
Though my heart protests. 
The hours pass by 
Without leaving a single mark. 
Another day disappears, 
Along with the sun. 

Then comes night, 
The realm of dream and fantasy. 
Open, my eyes see dark. 
Closed, they see you. 
My heart takes flight 
On the wings of wishes, 
Only coming in to land 
When the new day breaks.
