Waking
Somber dreams, pierced
by morning light
Dawn’s tight woven tapestry
Unfurled upon the night
Countenances now so cheerful
Not nearly now so fearful
As last they were when wrap’t in fur
Those faces of the night
The gladsome glow,
so warm to know
Giving chase to gloom
throughout the land
Birds, beasts, snakes
mice and men alike
Shaken rudely awake
By sol’s harsh hand
Allowed no more
In tranquil sleep to lay
Summoned forth
To face new day
E’en thru keyholes
and cracks so tiny…
Seeps suns persistent
Probing touch
Telling us tacitly…
Yet pray tell
with great tenacity
Arise! Arise! Open wide your eyes!
You’ve slept friend, quite enough!
