Small Fire Burning - Tiles, Colin Edwin

In the half-light

Of a dying night

I contemplate my changing story

When a slow dawn

Keeps hanging on

I hesitate to face the morning

I find sanctuary

When I close my eyes

Dreaming without sleeping

Safe inside my shell

Keeping tomorrow out of reach

When will a small fire

Burn in the distance

Beacon of promise

On an uphill climb

Keeping tomorrow out of reach
