Even if the eyes are open
the person pretends to see
he reads the headlines
pretends to know all
then at his funeral
he can pretend to be alseep.

that one might exist
in a dreamland
in their wakened state
or is this all a hoax;
is one forever asleep
that corpses might awaken?

The body in state, lies still
it's eyes remain sealed
even if eyes are open
ones fate unravels.


Even if headlines are read
one might just be niave
numb to adult pressures
pretends to sleep

So you've finally given me
an answer as to why I'm
awake more than I'm asleep.

Later is good for that.

Tsk -- general rule....write "high" and your replies will be low....

A few of us, folks like Martie, Greeneyes, Wranx, Suthern...can write high and get away with it, but that's because they're beloved here....but the rest of us, nope....

Which is my way of saying, gee whiz this is good!

Thanks for bringing this up again Ella, it's looks like I have been asleep but I've been oh so busy these past two months on film and play projects
Appreciate your feedback Martie
