Awaken

..something to believe in..

its knowing the time arrives

days melding into years melding into eternity

and a conscious knowing the unknown is upon us

we strive for perfection oblivious of the ebbing sands

but a kiss can echo a time stopping moment

and a newborn's tears can give the illusion of promise

as if the immortal essence seeps within your blood

forgotten by the hands that so soothingly caress

but with a withered rose dropping it's pristine petals

slowly marking as the smooth surface wrinkles

aged parchment telling tales of finality

coping only for the last breath to say what is unsaid

but its not the adoration of existence we mark with haste

its the ways in which we seek the dreams that take their toll

complications no more reality than the myth of unicorn

but the sharp prick of the horn to remind us to live

no longer merely exist as we wait for the harps to sing us to sleep

and hum the requiem of an angel's embrace
