Dream-O-Land

Dawn arrives promptly
Abrupt and early
Eyes still feel heavy


Morning routines wait
Early still feels late
Bedside clock hurls fate


Feet stumble wobbly
Sleepy form shaky
Moves somewhat edgy


Slow movement stealing
Awkward steps slipping
Sleep still caressing


Feeling still gloomy
Dawn leading slowly
Focus still weary


Wash my face feeling
Dream-o-Land thinking
Last dream still gazing


Marionette moves mime
Out-of-sync with time
Sleepy music chimes


Birdsong from the ledge
Punctuates my mind edge
Slow knowing times stage


Cold water splashing
Face awakening
Aware of waking


Daylight shines bright
Steaming warm sunlight
No debris of night


My thoughts come streaming
Notice just knowing
Conscious of seeing


Another fine day
To work fond array
To niche rainbow rays


Spend time doing things
In sure happenings
Squeeze moments that fling


Too soon day turns dark
Night bring fireflies sparks
Light leaves earthly park


Dream-o-Land draws near
Drowsy feelings steer
Bedtime drooping dear


Another sweet day
Surrenders from stay
Sleepy dreams now play


Body lies asleep
Astral mind trips deep
Dream after dream peep


Sleep talking moaning
Unconscious groaning
Fuzzy murmurings


Morning comes again
Ushering refrains
Logic not yet plain


Same old agenda
Awkward persona
Waking to drama
