    Come awake, Shake it off, After so much time Lost in dreams that never came true. You have spent your senses In words to the air, Throwing your reason Into the dust bin Of your consciousness. A cleansing rain of honesty Washes away The fog of besotted lust Unmet and unreturned. Words have power, As you full well know, Manipulating And playing with them In ascending Stairways of verbosity, You sampled fruits That you plucked from the firmament, The heavens, You gazed into the eyes of the angels And their glittering tears of fervor and favor Fell upon fertile soil, But turned to weeds In your heart. Breathe a breath of freedom, The fresh scented odor Of sensibility Once more. Bring an end to sleep walking, To drifting in day dreams, To feeling false passion, You did it yourself, You have no one to blame Except the one In the mirror Reflecting your face of foolishness, Rebutting your own faith, Your regrettable vision Of love and lust So unearned and still unrequited, Your fault. Now is the time To give thanks That you Still Have friendship and fondness, Still Have tenderly sought and gently felt The touch of true love Within reach When you fully awaken From the dreams of soul mates, Still To be found. Still out of reach. Still out there, No, No, It is all a dream. The one you have, The one you have always had, The one you have always known Is there, Is not a fantasy, But brings fulfilling quenching Truth To sustain you, To feed you and fill you With a true wonder. And ecstatic Life In the end. Awaken from the walk In the fog of passion And simply accept The happy bounty Freely proffered And now Gladly Enwrapped In your arms Pressed tightly to your heart.
