I Became Awake

I became awake From a very dark place Patchwork of fear of poorly conceived ideas With a blister of water Mark of working hands, ready to catch or cut Senses aligned, the animal urgency And voices picked up Flowing over the static, late, quiet All awake, all awake I became awake Fingers are open, eyes they are open The firing of images, an orchestra of scribbles The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf Light onto paper, exposed A filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground Together we are magic, together we are dreaming Together we will reach endlessly The center of a seed, so full of possibilities All awake, all awake All awake I became awake I thought I was sleeping but I was only forming A structure with no ceiling With words like a runway A cloud of a person drifting away I was heavy but now I am light I was heavy but now I am light All awake, all awake All awake, all awake
