Wake Me Slowly

Wake Me Slowly......

Wake me slowly,
let me float here,
anchored inside myself,
gently abandoning my dreams from the rim of sleep.

All night I have swum in deep pools,
catching the moon in my mouth,
and letting it go,
darting with fishes in two directions and following their drift.

So "slowly"
wake me slowly.
Do not stir the water yet...

Freckles123, and now for a read completely different...nice, what did you eat before you went to sleep? fishes 'n waters 'n moons in mouths...quite a dream. ;-)
