Slow Awakening
In and out of slumber I lay
half awake to the noise of the day
half awake to the noise of the day
I listen and snooze some more
hoping there is no one at the door
A dream sits waiting unfinished for me
subconscious thoughts of what will or could be
Lying here under sheets and blankets I feel
safe and warm in a condition not real
People who jump out of bed to the morning sun
don't know the wonders but get more done

"A dream sits waiting unfinished for me"-What a powerful expression!Everyone in the world,I am sure,experiences this phenomenon.But only your poem has given an expression for that experience.You are a wonderful poet.Even though you are younger in age,you have got the maturity in thought to give a classical poem.Hats off to you.
