This is just a poem nothing more.

      The scramble of awake

From the greyness of the inbetween,
These four words crept.
They were partly shock and partly seem,
What did I expect?

And from the dream state quite real,
These four words leapt.
Brought me from ambiance to fret,
What did I expect?

I challenged the notion of what?
These four word swept.
While I stewed in muse and awes think.
What did I expect?

In the darkness behind my eyes,
These four words wept.
Till awake closed the inbetween, of
What did I expect?

And I rose confused, somewhat inept,
From this dream where the answer still slept.

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

I woke up from the waking dream
Of blackness of the sunlit screen
And pondered in the hours not slept
But what did I expect?

Awake but sleeping in a dream
Of loveliness of in between
My mind to those past visions swept
But what did I expect

And now released from daylight ponder
Not the real of what I wondered
My mind on dreamless cloud has slept
But what did I expect

In truth of what I should have known
I sit here on a solid stone
And ponder now in introspect
Of what I should expect

The greyness of the dreams of wake
Wrought of a singular mistake
Has withered in the vines of cease
And now I sleep in peace

A classic Tabin beauty
Love ya
Liz
