Wake Me

Wake Me


Wake me up from my slumber:
dreams of fish swim deliciously,
reality beckons,
chores need completing.
My mind yearns for stimulation
until I am ready for sleep.

Wake me, but cautiously so:
dreams cares only warm waves and sun,
daylight argues over dusk,
truth's anecdote craves meaning.
Thoughts and ideas combine
before I lay in fields of feather down.

Wake me, but beware,
for dreams hold me under its spell.
No more simplicity;
honest afternoons emerge,
gauzy feelings pin me down
and back to bed I go for fantasy.
