POEM: Awake And Dreaming by Amakamedia(f): 12:57pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
My eyes see the pictures They do not want to be closed As sharp as razor blades Piercing into my heart They can see my heart Or is my heart that sees them? It's uncertain which part it is But somewhere from the inside I can't stop myself from dreaming. My eyes are widely open No glimpse of sleep in sight Yet the bed is near It doesn't feel like I've been working It has nothing to do with the clock For it's another time in this view This is a different world Filled with hope, faith and love I'm awake and dreaming. Even as my body suffers That its fats shrinks and shreds No amount of food is enough To quench this kind of hunger I'm hungry, if not starving For a place, a thing, or something Can't eat, can't rest, can't sleep I'm awake and dreaming Here I am writing this Not knowing where tomorrow leads So I try to understand Why am I not satisfied yet? Oh! My eyes, my heart I should call it the eyes of my heart They keep seeing, never stop seeing I'm awake and dreaming. The set time will come When that which I see happens When my hunger be satisfied And my heart at ease I will eat, I will rest, I will sleep For He who keeps my dreams Neither sleeps nor slumbers He's working, performing and perfecting I'm awake and dreaming.

I like this poem. It's really talking to me someway. There are two dreams. The dreams we dream in sleep and the ones we dream out of sleep. We dream of good things, good things, an end to all the shii. Thanks for this Amakamedia Ayamlaykorn |
