Are You Awake
It's funny, you think, you ponder.
Watching those around you pass along,
thinking all is well, thinking all is fair.
Memories flicker, memories fade,
What you think is there may be an apparition.
Like a mirage in the desert,
closer never seems to come near.
Feelings once abundant,
now seem to go the way of imagination.
For once I thought I felt that way.
For once I thought you felt the same.
Once the heat faded,
I realized the shimmer was only a dream.
Once a wave, a tsunami of emotion,
only to find a mouth of sand and eyes of grit.
Wondering when you will wake,
Did you really live or are you still asleep?
