One of my earliest poems, still stands out to me for some reason as a defining moment.

The Sandmans Visit

Through the darkness of all discreet
Masked by helpless thoughts of sleep,
I leave the troubled waters deep
To flow their way for dreams are sweet.

In all we see and seem lies grief
It seeps from luminous moments, brief.
Within the shadows skulks a thief
The sandman lurks with swollen feet.

Beyond the lake I watch for him
And hum along to broken hymns.
While strewn away in woods lit dim
Our fears demur so we can't swim.

With time comes day; with day, the light;
Clocks now spin from swirling flight.
I wished for dawn: dazzled delight!
Instead I lie adhered to night.
