We live...
our slumbering spirits
dwelling in a world of deep dreams;
shuttered eyes keeping out reality.
We wake...
for brief hopeful moments,
our eyes and ears straining
against the darkness
that permeates both day and night.
We listen...
for a voice
to call us to Light,
to end the seemingly
endless sleep.
But, we do not hear that Sound,
for our ears are not tuned
to the right frequency,
and the noise of the world
filters out any sound
that would otherwise pierce our
deafness.
Until...
we reach the deepest place
in our valley of sleep,
and silently call out
with all the heart, mind, soul,
to the only One who can
wake us
and make us whole;
And He does...
if we will.
Till then
sleeper,
sleep on.
