Daylight

It is just like the peeping of a brand new morning,

Sending the studs of stars to sleep while flickering

The now awakened sun scatters brightness over the lands,

Revealing what the moon hid under the dark velvet skies

Unfolding and opening shallow and deeply kept treasures

Will we embrace what light has brought to us to muse?

Or do we choose to alter and refine what we cannot bear?

I choose to look at sunlight in a different perspective,

If its heat is less, on my face I shall allow it to receive

But its beauty is more alluring than its cool-calm shadow

Alas! It will soon be a spotlight and everything will show

How can I refuse a promising dawn and the break of sunrise?

what if last night's dream is not as beautiful as reality and I realize?

Would you still welcome tomorrow's pledge, daylight and dare?
