I Awake Poem by Blessing Ekpe

I awake to the silent in the future

I awake to the reality of being all by myself

I awake to the beauty of life from a view behind the mask

I awake to the shattering of houses and dreams yet unrealized.


I awake to the yearning battle of freedom of self imprisonment

I awake to the horizontal craving of a touch from you.

I awake to face the untold truth that has lingers on for so long

I awake to song in me yet unsung


I awake to a new hope

I awake to a beautiful love undaunted

I awake to the rays of smiles from a mighty Spirit

I awake to a peaceful spirit within
