Dawn on my Mind

JUST HOW COME? How can we understand happiness without experiencing sadness? How do we know what's more if we don't know what's less? We say something is the worst yet we don't know what is the best? If we can't let go of life then how will we ever get beyond death? Life's seemingly extremes are but one and the same of a particular concept Just imagine, how could we have awakened without having slept? Just how could we believe in so many lies and allow the truth to be the best-kept secret Just how come? If nothing is new under the Sun then how do we revive old concepts? Just how come? In this ocean of life just how could we experience high tides and none low? After all, the more we know the more we realize how much we still don't know Asking of nature for only sunshine would never be fair to the rain Same is it in wishing for Man joy, thinking there'll never be pain He who has had a great loss should prepare one's self for an even greater gain Wild animals will cease being themselves only if they are tamed How can we truly appreciate peace if we do not experience war? In the midst of evil, good is never too far That's what happens in most cases when things turn around Out of hatred true love and harmony can be found. MIND AWAKENING A wounded mind you may say Because things have gone but not my way After all we see differently it seems I should have known we are living separate dreams But I ask of myself, why then suffer this pain? And swear to God, never again! Common sense and wisdom have made me aware So now into my wounded mind I can stare. Now I realize what I believed was never true I lied to myself, it was never you But like the Good Book says “the truth will set you free” So awakened and free will be my mind because forgiveness lies within me So happy am I today, can't you see? I have found true love which was always in me Unconditional love it is I have to give To me, to you and this Life I live. DAWN ON MY MIND I have dawn on my mind To tell you more I need some of your time Yes, mi know seh mi nuh have to talk dem tings yah bout dawn But mi caan help miself cause a how mi feel bout dawn Afta all, oonu might find dis quite inspirational, wedda oonu a king, queen or pawn So, sit back, relax and if oonu waan hear more just mek mi hear oonu say gwaan! Yuh si, every mawning when mi wake up, mi just caan help but tekking a piece of dawn It is such a beauty to be alive, firm and strong in the morn Oonu can imagine dat time a mawning when nuff people a sleep and di cock rise and start crow at dawn And what mek mi feel good is fi know dat when mi go to bed a night time it is just a matter of time before the coming of dawn. Mek mi tell oonu, at the coming of dawn mi generally get ecstatic and mi give thanks fi another piece of dawn Mi feel so good more time tinking dat mi deh pon top a di whole world only fi realize it is only dawn Afta all when dawn come mi usually feel at ease and rather joyful It is that feeling you get, although knowing you haven't eaten, yet still yuh feel full. It's kinda funny but true, but dawn is fi free Yes! dawn is fi you, me and all and sundry Dawn is fi everyone, but especially fi me Mi kinda feel special, cause a what dawn does to me. I really can't understand how some funny guy nuh love fi experience dawn Is like dem go to bed every night wid problems pon dem head and wouldn't even try fi sort it out before morn Mi nuh fraid fi tell oonu seh when mi got problems pon mi head mi go dung pon mi knee dem before dawn And believe it or not mi normally feel revitalized by the coming of dawn. So all a oonu man out dere wid much work to do, do mi a beg oonu, tek mi free advice Mek sure to wake up early every mawning once di cock rise And even before oonu stretch oonu self or begin fi yawn Get to work wid oonu head, oonu will be so much happier by the coming of dawn. But as fi me, having spent the night inside, once I am outside at the coming of dawn there is much moisture around for me to feel and see Mi a tell oonu di way how mi feel charged up, oonu coulda swear blind mi thoughts dem a run like a river into di sea People, mek mi tell oonu, yuh si every time mi experience dawn, on mi face there is such a glee Oh thank God mi live fi see another day cause dat mean so much to me.
