somnolent

careening wildly
we smash and grab
looting our dreams
by blasting blaring
screaming shouting shaking
to change us upon waking
sleeping minds rebel
against sleepwalking lives
too easy in somnolent torpor to trudge
retreating in redundancy for safety
daily grinding
then grinding teeth by night
in dreams we fight the plight
the day job doldrums rewrit
into adventures rich and rare
bold and brave we crave
heroism to hang about us
like a cape
which flaps behind us
as we fly
into a subconscious rising
infusing and apprising us
when all is bleak that
the courage we seek
the havoc we wreak
the valleys and peaks
are within us
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
THE TIME IS NOW
arise and find you there
