Ti'll I awake at Dawn

Last night I heard a whisper,

a voice that haunted my soul.

Last night I heard a voice

that told me to be afraid of what was to come.

The night was long I must say so,

for there was no sight of the rising sun.

And as my mind created even larger fears

I stared at the idea that harmful things were near.

Again I heard the voice,

talking to my ear.

Again I heard the voice,

saying that until morning he would stay here.

But then I asked this wretched voice,

that why was it that it hunt me alone.

I asked from time to time and from it came no word,

I asked many times, but it had left me alone.

This voice, was it even real?

Or is this realm a dread to my eyes and ears?

Is the place on which I lay a figment of my fear?

Till light arrives at dawn, I can't tell how it feels.

But then again came the voice,

perhaps with an answer it seemed

for it was waiting for the question

to pop into it's ear.

Then I asked it again:

why do you come to this place?

And it answered me:

So I can test your faith.

I was stunned, speechless at best.

A spirit had come and cost me unrest,

all to figure out,

if the faith that I wield was at stake.

So I asked the spirit:

What is it that I have to do?

Then it said:

Choose right, for this affects me as much as you.

But why? Why was this spirit affected by me?

What was it that connected us each?

Was this all a dream?

Till I awake at dawn, is safe to say, I won't have an answer to this.

So then from the air appeared

a door that was white and bright clear.

And the spirit didn't spoke one word,

as I already knew, the door I passed through.

And once on the other side I stood in a bridge

and at it's end was the life tree.

And the stars in the sky were ignited

like a bright flame in the dark.

And then the spirit follow

and asked if I was ready to fill the place in my heart that was hollow.

And I said yes, as well,

and with those words the tree turned frail.

Then I asked it, what can it be?

Why has this tree gone like this?

This tree, he answered, is the reality and truth.

This tree is the faith of those who can do great things in a world of hurt.

This tree, my friend, is me and you.

Then blankly I stared,

as every single leaf to the floor fell.

From green to brown in every second they turned.

Till I awake at dawn, this will continue to hurt.

And as I saw, that the leafs that were falling

when touched by the ground turned to dust,

my desperation went greater than ever before,

for these leaves that were falling,

and it wasn't until now that I understood

that those were the people who I cared for.

So I start chasing the air

because my touch was to hard,

and they were too frail.

Misery started abounding in my heart.

And the spirit tries to stop me,

for if not sorrow would consume me.

And then it gives me the option

to give my life to the tree and stop this.

And let me tell you it was no easy test

deciding to give my life or in oblivion the tree would lay.

So I put my hand on chest and listen to my beating heart,

and after a moments rest from it I part.

Then as I fall and start to see only dark

I hear a voice that comes to say:

Is this the road you really want to take?

But I don't hesitate to say yes.

Then from darkness comes light,

and that light outshines the night.

For I awoke at dawn,

during the plain rising of life's sun.

And that was the moment that it took to comprehend,

that it had all been a dream, it had all been a fake.

But as I get up from my bed,

in a table by my side a note laid.

It said: Congratulations, that was the right choice,

even if hard it was, I congratulate you my boy.

Your faith was proven,

accepted your heart was by us all.

Now know that this is your mission,

to do what you did, to free the world as so.

But then I asked myself:

Who was this spirit that came forth?

And this mission that he speaks of,

would my sacrifice be worth at all?

But then I see the rising sun,

the beginning of a new day.

And somehow I feel secure

that the heavens will guide my way.

So as in the dark night I was taken away

to fight a battle that would test my faith,

I find that in the morning I would walk a new way.

Till I awake at dawn, until I sleep at dusk

I shall fight against stars, moons and suns

for those who have faith, their obstacles overcome.

Till I awake at dawn, against the evil of life

I won't turn back, I won't give up.

This is a card to who ever who ever fights for what they want.

This is a card for when you awake at dawn.
