Of The SleepWalker

Awake but never really aware,
Dreaming by night
Daydreaming by day
Slept through life,
Slept through love
slept through pain,
slept through rain,
Slept through memories,
slept through nightmares
The universe unfolded,
Before your eyes unfocused,
And yet you still slept,
the miracle of life beckons
still you sleep,
What will it take,
To rouse you from your slumber,
to open your eyes,
To the world around you,
Before it is too late,
The eyes that see most,
are those about to close forever,
here lies a sleepwalker.

    Oh my word. I resonate with these words, with this state of awakened sleep. In reality, I’m seen as a lazy person but I can’t seem to have enough strength to change people’s lenses.

      Thank you Zawadi
      Reality is such a fickle space and most people tend to project than to perceive…
