awake, awake the soul
from slumbered dreams
and ideals deferred
awake from blurred visions
and delayed hopes
come alive again and rise up
awake, awake the heart
from fears unfounded
and loves unsought
awake from the embrace
of cozy comforts
and easy excuses
to begin again
awake, awake the eyes
from night’s darkness
and blindness imposed
awake from the unconscious
and depths unknown
to see again and know
the rising light
awake, awake the arms
spreading like the wings
of the cardinal singing
on the backfence ready
to take flight unbound
by fences for you are
not a child of conformity
but a paradigm of possibility.
