    Awake

    Nothing you
    Do can make
    Me forget
    It’s to early
    Yet to decide
    If I should forgive
    I don’t mind
    Living on alone
    I’m awake yet so
    Deep in a restless
    Slumber
    Will we know
    When we are
    Truly awake?
    Let’s stop
    Take a breath
    A casual brush
    With death and
    Your left scarred
    And lost,
    Don’t melt away with
    The others
    Your far
    To brave
    To do such a
    Cowardly thing as
    Standing in line watch,
    They’ll pass you
    By
    Not a second glance
    The look in
    Your eyes
    You haven’t lost
    That blind faith
    I believe in you
    Your not afraid
    To keep on living
    This way
    Give it all away
    When it’s gone,
    Don’t forget that
    When the mood
    Is over
    Fade to black…

    "A casual brush with death and you're left scarred and lost" __________ A great verse within a great poem. Great write. 10

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
