A Moment Awake Poem by Raj Arumugam

A Moment Awake

Rating: 5.0


from deep sleep one wakes
to a fleeting moment:
glimpses of the room
the window at which the darkness hangs
the gentle wind outside amongst the trees

and one floats back into sleep

and the moment awake fleets through the mind
at dinner, hours later

Wow, this is so true. The mind seems to keep an indelible record of it's impressions; which is not to say, though disease or lack of current, we do not often forget or find ourselves unable to replay certain parts of it.
