I Wake

The dreams disperse with sunlight,
It’s daybreak,
The real brushes back black night
And eyes flutter to conceive,
As I wake,
I struggle to now believe
That before me is the real
When in sleep
More alive I did there feel;
Dreaming exits and is done
It won’t keep
Now that the day has begun
As I wake.

Oh, I loved your thoughts in this piece, Professor. Too often I wish I could curl back into the dreams to run away from the "real". Very much enjoyed the way you captured this feeling.

Best wishes,
/Kit

Thank you, Kit McCallum,
Pleased you enjoyed this,
There are days I would prefer just not to wake
But sleep the entire day and another night.
Reality just won’t let me.

I wake to sleep each morning's call
and back to bed is where I crawl
to close my eyes in depth of sleep
to hold the present in my keep.

Thank you, Nakdthoughts,
Another nice poetic response,
I see you understand the feeling of crawling back to bed
I tend to want to pull the covers over my head too.
