When I Awake

When I awake


When I awake
The same as you
Our time of life
My desires are few
When you awake 
The same as me
Nothing new
Sleep in the eyes
Bright and bushy tailed
Tensions and sugar plums
Side by side
Are we one
Are we two
A lifetime
The same as you

Nice rhyme and story in a prayer-like poem. Well done.
