Not that I know The moment when I drifted off Slumber land is peculiar Vivid dreams at times Seeming so real We visit loved ones Gone before us Have adventures Wake up. Get up Check the time Go back for more Loveliness or sadness By the scoopful Somewhere the exploits end You wake up Sometimes in a hurry Often coughing or Scratching Looking for water Often seeing stars Or a bright moon Always fazed by The reality of Our insignificance Still we come too Become cognizant Know we have purpose Are driven by it Make peace with the day Greet our loved ones Make our preparations Feel untangled and Ready to go Don’t wish to Abandon ambition Before I get going I am totally aware Stanski October 24, 2021 ^
