I'm awake


 I'm Awake Now 


I am awake now, 

no more in my dreams 

A cold day awaits 

Sitting on the edge of my bed 

Still dark 

only the moon gives light 


three minute discourse 

You go first 

no you go, no you go 

I went in the middle of the night 

okay I'll go, don't you puddle the floor 


Oh Moon, o moon 

Please send me another dream 

Sitting the edge of my bed 


A cold day awaits

    The picture you paint with words is an emotion we've all felt in one way or another. Beautifully expressed.

    It is good to have dreams before waking up and facing the realities of the world!

    I wish warmer days and nights with beautiful dreams. I understand the distress of certain dreams , so poignant.

    Maybe, just maybe...
    On a dark, cold night, moonlight slips through a parting in the curtain and settles in the middle of the room — a puddle of light this time.
