WHILE SLEEPING

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
