Somnium

A Poem by Rayne LaDuex

We are dreaming of tomorrow,
yet tomorrow never shows.
We are chasing fleeting glory,
though it’s not the path we chose.
We are longing for the sunrise,
though the dawn is breaking bright.
We are fleeing from the battle
when it’s time to stand and fight.
And still we sleep.

We are aching for a love
that we once held in our hands,
letting go of all its beauty,
never daring where it stands.
We are mourning for the losses
that we crafted in our haste,
turning moments into memories
too fragile now to taste.

We are breaking hearts in silence,
seeking solace in the pain,
gathering the shattered pieces,
yet we scatter them again.
We are longing for forgiveness,
while we tremble to forgive.
We forget that love and sorrow
teach us all the ways to live.

We are listening for the calling,
but we never heed the sound.
We are planting seeds for someday
on already hallowed ground.
We are yearning for the wisdom
that we dodge with every breath.
We are praying for a savior
while we hold the means to death.
And still we sleep.
And still we dream.
And still we fear.
And still we pray.
And still we sleep.
