~*Rude Awakening*~

Sound asleep in a dream.
The sun not up.
Moon still shines,
but fades slowly.

Children stirring
animals stretching
Sound alseep in a dream.

Clock strikes the alarm.
Wham! Everyone is up.
Frantic day now begins.

Yet, the sun is still sleeping.
Dark as it was before,
and people are leaving to
start their days work.

To early to shine
To early to be human.
That rude awakening has a pattern.

Five days a week
Same time, same place.
That alarm sounds,
the fight begins.

To wake up from that dreamy place.
Still, one is sound alseep in a dream.

*Mistakes are made, you pay for them, then you do it again.*

(big huggsssssssss) Oh Kirah, I have this exact same feeling, as much as I love reading and learning the joys of the world through dance and music and art, I too just want to stay in bed a little longer and feel comfortable in my dreams! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is touching, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kirah, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Alarm clocks really are rude, aren't they?  They should be banished...

WindSong - and every day the same, b'rrrrrring, with the alarm. But to break out of the sameness, now that's something...

This is a nice reminder of what it used to be like when still raising children. Tanks you, you captured the moments perfectly.
