Wake Me Softly

Wake Me Softly
~~~~~~~~~~~

waking in a dream
again and again
discarding the shell of what was
for a figment of what is

distant vista eagerly awaited
the naked truth, dearly dreaded

show me not what is real 
show me what could be
when you are a dreamer
you just never know 

imaginary dreamscapes
fantastic lucidity of delusion
prestigious fortune of grit

when blood, sweat, and tears
and mere passion
not only fall short but
they will never be enough

blind faith in the gamble
my hand is strong
but one shy of flush

a bell pierced the haze
in my wake all that I see
is the awkward silence in between 
a furrowed brow and dirty fingernails

the mind it boggles
that when the ground floor hits
I've fallen asleep

5 more minutes
then wake me softly
