Half AwakeA Poem by Lorraine Hamptonthere's a state of mind that occurs when your waking up or drifting to sleep. A time in which reality mingles with ideas, fantasies, and dreams.Half awake
The
bed is so warm Sheets
and blankets Wrap
me like a mummy.
It’s
hard to resist it The
alarm screams But
Snoozing is so easy.
The
sun creeps in But
I do not care I
cover my head and ignore.
My
mind is hazy But
it runs wild Half
dreaming and half awake.
Ideas
and dreams Come
to me here Too
bad they go by so fast.
Stories
and reality Are
jumbled here I
can’t tell which is which.
