Awaken

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Romans 13:11 NIV


Wake up from the slumber
Lift up those sleep mask
Take out the ear plugs 
Time to change pajamas
Christ is giving new clothes of righteous 
The sunshine is here to awaken
If one stays in the dark it's on them
The alarm clock has went off
Snooze will continue to awaken with
Many different sounds and signs 
As a reminder of the time spent asleep.
Embrace a newfound joy to walk outside
and see this new daily creation
Outside that one has been missing 
Only revealed through Christ
To see the deception and shadows
Of death one once was sound asleep in

It is time to wake from our slumber and walk into the sunlight, Jesus gives."If one stays in the dark it's on them/ The alarm clock has went off"----- Great warning ! Fellow men, never ignore this warning. Much enjoyed your poem, dear Stephan.
