Do We Sleep? Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Do We Sleep?



do we sleep?
do we wake always?

At night we dream
so in sleep we wake.

And in the morning
tired sinews sleep
sub-conscious and secret
while the body machine works.

We wake and sleep
and sleep and wake
and march
together
a cluster and a herd
we march
we march
conscious in part
sub-conscious in part
always, always.

We, who are we?
It is the I, myself!
We is I.
We is I, the Poet Seer.
