My waking eyes are seeing.

They’re reaching for the light.

At once my dreams are fleeing.

In morning they take flight.



My waking lips are speaking

To specters long since gone.

No respite are they seeking.

They’re anxious for the dawn.



My waking hands are feeling

For the first hint of the day.

Their actions now revealing

The curtains of this play.



My waking feet are moving.

They take me out the door.

For them there is no proving.

Whether they’re fresh or sore.



My waking brain is thinking.

It conjures up new thoughts.

In ecstasy it’s drinking

All that life has brought.



My waking heart’s unceasing.

It toils through the night.

Its waking strength’s increasing.

It pumps with all its might.



My waking body stands.

Its systems all are Go.

It follows my commands.

As the morning sunlight flows.

I love this. The rhyme is skillfully done...and I like the "waking" theme of this poem (obviously because it is called "waking" hehehe)... v. nice. :)
