I’d fallen through the murky abyss

And, then I woke up

I nodded off to the melody

And, then I woke up

I hit the snooze button over 1000 times

And, then I woke up

The bright lights blinded me into a deep sleep

And, then I woke up

The floor provided hardening comfort

And, then I woke up

The ghosts haunted my dreams for way too long

And, then I woke up

The lullaby grabbed my sheep

And, then I woke up

The thoughts streamed like a drive-in theater

And, then I woke up

The dreams left fragrant false trails to pursue

And, then I woke up

The mobile in the ceiling gave me false hope

And, then I woke up

The bamboo pillow sunk me into a reverie

And, then I woke up

Curried raisins danced diagonally up the shafts

And, then I wondered what it was all about

And, then I woke up
