Sleepwalking Through Life

Rating: 5.0


A bright wet rose freshly watered
A blue apron removed from her skirt
a mother crying her eyes out over a loss
A father emerging from a 12 hour work day torn and sweated
To watch their mutual hearts break as they die a little today

A teenager practicing basketball hoops and dreaming
A toddler taking his first steps
A writer sits alone carving out a new dream to share

An actor patiently rehearses to speak for your approval
A golfer hits a near perfect shot while practicing alone
A girl holds a knife to her wrists but the phone call comes from her friend

A couple board a plane to Hawaii and share a smile at each other
A desperate man demands a purse at gun point
Salesmen pop a cork on a champagne bottle to celebrate

A woman leans over to pluck weeds from her garden
The sun presents us with a perfect sunset and nobody looks up
A little boy picks up a coin and feels rich
The moon comes out and reminds us that there is peace in the world
And the world, for a mere moment, falls silent
And i fear, some of you are doing what i fear most
Sleepwalking through Life.
