Yawning
Ephesians 5:13-14
13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
Awake my little brother ... dance in the sun
The day is here before you waiting for your smile
Refreshed you should be singing before the day is done
In the wake of cleanliness you’re not yet beguiled
Yawns are rolling in the air ... oxygen’s search is on
There is enough to go around but I can’t get it yet
Teary-eyed in la-la land ... what’s now to be done
As the pen moves on paper and thoughts are still in bed
I think the coffee is ready ... my thoughts now toss and turn
They know the time of getting up and to join my dreary mind
The melody of life is ready as it waited for its turn
The dance in the heart will start ... quietly and kind
Moving through the universe ... gliding past the sun
Nothing is impossible as the stars are fading slowly
I am now part of this as in thought, I travel on
to a place far beyond where pure angels roam
Yawning now has stopped ... strength is returning
The moment of dreams now slip into memory
Soon the time will come to start again yearning
for the next day to carve itself into history
