Rush of light floods in
Through eyes shut sensed
Awaken by unrelenting brightness
Streaming steady, endlessly inward
Bathing the room in light
Unavoidable, inevitable
Escapes a moan of despair
Eyes forced to contradictions
No longer able to drift back to sleep
Yet wanting nothing more than escape
The blinding intensity of the rays
Outlining luminosity a ton
Uncovering the whites
Of the eyes, and the iris bright
Lifting the blanketing lids covering
The warmth of the darkness and night
During sleep, comfort stripped
Away from dreaming
