Don't Wake The Sleeper

Hush don't wake
The sleeper yet
It's not the time to reveal
The secrets
That lie there
Within the thought
Those thoughts that
Lay cloaked in the mists
Yet unformed

Be very quiet
Leave the sleeper
Undisturbed by your
Presence
By your touch or
Voice
It's not the time
To awaken this
Power leave
It for now
Laying softly
Covered in the
Mystery of the dark

Don't speak
Don't utter a single
Word
Not one
For if you rouse
The sleeper
You don't know
What will happen
It's too soon

But when the time is
Right
Then you can
Blow the trumpets
And bang the drums
Clash the cymbals
And wake the sleeper
To meet
Fate face to face

Krissy

And while thy willing soul transpiers
at every pore with instant fires

Krissy,
there are so many levels to this, or I'm reding between the lines. Very deep and powerful.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

For me, it all depends on who's doing the waking. *G* If it's my neighbors singing to the top of their lungs in the middle of the night, they wake a grouch. *G* But if it's my little nephew prying open my eyes... it's hug time. LOL

I enjoyed this very much, Krissy!
