Wake
I want to wake within this life
Not dozing through another siren
To see quite clearly what is there
No hazy intervals of uncertainty
To hear to smell to touch the actual design
Not filtered through a mind on pins
Touching only on the sharp
While all the more is guessed or believed
From others in their own
But if I woke to all these truths
My heart could not fit them in
Nor my eyes, my mind, could comprehend
So stretched that I would fall apart
And lose the sense of everything
But if my heart could grow with time
And my waking be in the same stride
My eyes would see it all as wide
And slowly filling expands my mind
Then in the end maybe I would
Be wakeful to it all
