Best Wakes Poems

Come, walk with me in this early dawn
while the darkness fades in solitude
As first light appears, and moon drifts on
we will drink in the quiet interlude

Wet blankets of fog will lift away
wearing soft slippers of slow retreat
We'll greet early risers starting the day
drink fresh brewed...

As morning wakes
with skies of blue
and breezes flowing free

Still every thought
I think is you 
and what you mean to me

I witness summer
twilight scenes
where sunset ribbons sway

Though none of these
can fill my dreams
the way you do each day

Good morning Soupers ...

As This Heart Wakes To Your Soft Touch

Sounding a change a call to arms  
echoes in heart's beatings
waging battles against world's harm
found within dawn's greetings
battle yields to heroic light
blessings send, strength to fight

to find a bountiful treasure 
wake to again truth see
by love, can...

War is misunderstood
Unless you are serving 
Then it is real

War is sad
No matter what side you are on
Anguish for many

War wakes you up
And shakes you up
Leaving you a different person...

In time she wakes; I, the the sun, that kisses her face. 
No lies or disguise, just the radiant reflection of African skies on the rise in her eyes.
Beauty unmistakable, incredible, unforgettable;
My eyes drink the scene until I'm full. 
Her hair, her face, that skin,...

Ingrained is my reality?
I lose it all the time
There's someone here who's not quite me
My heart ain't worth a dime

My fear is not of consequence
It never really stayed
This vivid heart is on the fence
So many times, betrayed

Am I content with all I lose--
When I just...

The President Wakes Up Laughing

By Elton Camp

The president has been sleeping sound of late
Because of results that he had to view as great

Last night he suddenly awoke with delight
From a dream that was funny, not of fright

The GOP had decided its image to remake
And so...

As an icing dribbled dress drips bubblegum blue, caramel clouds bleed along the
chocolate sky. Black forest trees sway gently in the breeze, as she bathed in a
pool of raspberry pie.

Cake awoke under a pile of candles, and blew out the flames with her peppermint
breath. The...

Thursday -  alarm clock if I hear it, but sometimes I don't.  Thursday's a perpetual late day.
Friday –...

The abounding nature of a problem is the emblem of certainty 
Witty and Brave is a product that lives among humanity
The glory of your story can be found in the difficulty!
Difficulty is what wakes up the genius in the face of adversity

Humans can cope
Holding on...

mornings wakes the day
Morning comes and wakes the day
to new beginnings coming
refreshed enraptured in its way
we rise to face today

Receding changing flow
over head within the sky
through soaring joys in play 

Sea clouds converging
within the twilight's sun
mists of fog retreating 
brings the light we need

Found life’s...

*** OF AND ABOUT IT ALL ***

Life’s  so much a-coming or a-going,
With hours of waiting or flowing
From now to next
While we step about, hopefully blessed —
On a quest for things major or minor to cherish 

In our sometimes to come.  We sojourn thence
From...
