Awake

Another awakening
Another emerging conscious thought
Another opportunity
Another chance to do, not ought

Another breath
Another opening of the eye
Another death
Another question about life

Another victory
Another failure punctuated with fear
Another miracle
Another day, another month, another year

Another awakening
Another emerging thought
Another opportunity
Another chance to do, not ought
