Wake Up

Could this, - life, our day to day, be of an illusion.

Birthed in a mirage, -is this a conclusion, to confusion

Some would say, Yes- life is but a dream

Others sunken,- deeper in slumber

Not aware, of such a thing.

I watch, -as others pass by

A glossy stare,- sealed over their eyes

Controlled by time, - controlled by money

As time tics away,- we fly towards honey

-As we wander, throughout life..

This sleep,- that comes

Isn't just by night

It's cousin is death, - to some, it may fright

Awakened to life, - in the midst of, a morning light.

-but a dream,

       - twas an illusion

Lessons we learn

Only if we chose them

So -- row, row, row your boat-

Gently down the stream

Awaken in this lifetime, -to

bring about meaning.

"You can't wake a person who pretends to be asleep."- Navajo Probverb
