Waking Sleep

Waking Sleep..

As sleep drifts off on my vision's ocean,
  the sparkling sunlight rains down...
Travelling with tantalizing waves,  
  unknowingly vanquishing the nights frown...
Quivering fingers I raise up to touch,
  do I dare to wake up now or peacefully drown...


Come hither my child sweetly calls,
  the new day with inviting open arm...
I glide into it warmly bemused,
  floating thoroughly into a unsettled calm..
The day beseeches out of my trance,
  will I endure aches or receive sweet balm..


The lingering clouds melt and disperse,
  paving the path of the glowing royal day..
A half smile tugs on my sleepy lips,
  as my body starts travelling the beaten way..
Promises to keep and dreams to live,
  every pulsing second of life if I may...
