Wake Me

Wake me if I've become stationary, satiated with the ordinary. Nudge me if I am complacently numb, ungrateful and obliviously glum. Unfold my eyes if they're mindlessly closed. Wake me from heedless sleep if I have dozed. 5-21-2021

Juliet, This is so fine, the words you found. A Left in a transcendental moment in meditation. -Richard

Great message here, so elegantly expressed. You've shown the sunny side of 'Woke-ness!!' ~ Alive and Awake, gw

Lol, I wasn't even thinking of that, but I like your interpretation.

We all need a nudge occasionally Julie. Tom

We sure do because it's so easy to stay in the comfort zone if not given a little push sometimes.
