The Sleeper

Blanded by common place reality
Lost in everyday responsiblity.
Existences absent of living,
Gestures absent of giving.

Blind to all the fleeting wonder,
Lost thoughts I couldn't begin to ponder.
Knowing in my own sweet memory,
Of how life's supposed to be.

A sleeper going through the motions,
But never, oh never devoid of emotion.
I want much more than my memory,
Lost, waiting for something to awaken me.

A wisp, intangible but almost there,
Comes floating gracefully through the air.
Somehow, someway thankfully I can see.
I grab hold and am mercifully set free.
