Suddenly I Awake

Suddenly I Awake                                             

Suddenly I awake
Nightmare, dreamscape
Pulse racing, heart quaking
Brow sweating, hands shaking
Body quivering, muscles tensing
Mind racing, senses awakening

Eyes opening, reality seeming
Subconscious, what meaning
Body erect, mind spinning
Awareness, just beginning

Questioning, reasoning
Acceptance, forgiving

Quieting, stilling
Darkness, fulfilling 

Calming, breathing
Heartbeat, repeating

Suddenly I am awake
Suddenly I am aware
