Awake

    by Jordan Grumet


Awake

from the darkness

of winter

with eyes opened

and caress

the Beauty

and strength

of life


Awake

from the depression

and sorrow

and forget

your companion

solitude


Awake

to the possibilities

and promise

and rejoice

that morning

has come


Awake

from your sleep

and hide

your eyes

never

more
