Awake Arise

Fearsome is this realm of contrast, where we struggle, mile after mile, but what comes and goes, will not last; waking up from stupor, we smile. Approaching life’s end we recount how narrow desires did defile but now on Pegasus we mount, waking up from stupor, we smile. We are not who we think we are, for vibrancy is our soul’s style and seeing we’ve drifted afar, waking up from stupor, we smile. Dwelling in staid silence tranquil, free from subterfuge and from guile, when with God we unify will, waking up from stupor, we smile.

Many of us drift off in a direction we'd rather not take, but such are the temptations put before us in the worldly realm of human conscience. Always, should we seek to conquer. Your poem woke my fuzzy mind from sleep this morning, Seeker. Thank you.
