Waking

The sparrow clutches the worm 
Firmly
And sings the morning
To waking

And I hold firm to my faith
That I shall not die again
Not after the drums
Have warmed my heart

The sun filters into my hut
And pierces the sleepy head
With sudden mystery
A mysterious fortune- a new day!

So I awaken
And reach for the nectar
That was the unbroken dreams 
Of last night.
