Awakening
another form, another rhyme
to tease my foggy brain awake
initially, gives me a time
but not so bad, when given time
a forming thought can shape a smile
as, like a morning, sudden dawns
both forward drawn and all the while
still pondering each line awhile
a symphony not yet in sight
a song begins with but one note
a solitary ray of light
but soon is joined to its delight
to play with words is to amuse
awakening the inner muse
