A thought about awakening from that wonderful, long craved sleep that most of us long for from time to time.
Flame On!!!
ARISING THOUGHT'S
WHAT'S THIS I SENSE ABOUT TO BEGIN
MY EYE'S FLUTTER TO OPEN AGAIN
I FEEL CONFUSED AND A LITTLE SET BACK
BY THE SOUNDS OF THE DAY'S RELENTLESS ATTACK
MY DREAMS ALL GO FLEETING INTO THE ABYSS
AS THE REALITY OF AWAKENING BEGIN'S IT ASCENT
THE SOFTNESS OF MY BEDDING HAS LOST ITS CARESS
THE WARMTH OF MY HAVEN AND SERENITIES BLIGHT
HAS GIVEN WAY TO MORNINGS FIRST LIGHT
JUST FOR A MOMENT I HESITATE TO MOVE
ATTEMPTING TO RECAPTURE SLEEP'S SWEET SUCCULENT MOOD
THE SUN HAS ARISEN AND BROKEN THE NIGHT
THE NEW DAY IS CALLING WITH UNDENIABLE MIGHT
IT'S TIME TO GET UP AND BEGIN ALL REFRESHED
TO FACE EVERY MOMENT AND GIVE IT YOUR BEST
JUST FOR A FEW HOURS YOU MUST DO THE THINGS
THAT MAKE EACH NIGHT FILL UP WITH YOUR DREAMS
TIRE OUT YOUR BODY AND EXHAUST YOUR MIND
SO YOU CAN LOOK FOWARD TO THE TIME WHEN YOU RECLINE.
