Awake At Last - a Darren White Production

Silent nights and sleepy mornings
carry your best through our song
blown soft in the wind of change.
Heart, sweet
giving all in which you breathe
a gracious gift, freely
words of wisdom, encourage
the sombre tones of grey
beheld 
but not desired

Smiling sun,  sleepy still 
behind marshmallow clouds, 
sitting low in the sill. 
Fragrance, sweet 
perfume caresses me, 
half asleep, 
with hands gesturing
a patch of fog, shreds of memory, 
rags ripped in corners
tattered but you and I still laugh

Good Evening Tim and Darren. I loved the title Awake at Last which is poetic in itself. Better still, I really loved the Darren White Production. How marvelous is that. Very. This is beautiful poetry. Individually you both Tim and Darren are truly top level poets and entries such as this confirms that. Congratulations on your collaboration. Now I give a toast to being awake and alive and specifically a toast to "Awake at Last". Thank you for posting Tim. Well done entirely.
