Wake Me Up Poem by F.L. Racca Sr.

My mind wonders far away as I lay here asleep
I can see faces near, but yet unfocused to my eyes
Who are these people here talking all around?
Don’t they know to be quiet, as not to wake me up?
Why are they here beneath my every thought?
As I hear them speak, I put one finger to my lips,
Sshhhh! as I speak silently don’t wake me up!
As they stir so busily about their way,
Slowly does their voices begin to softly disappear
as though they move away not wanting to wake me up.
The room now has brightened from a light within,
I hope they dampen its glow so as not to wake me up.
Then one voice calls out from nowhere,
now is that time to let him go!
This voice I hear so clear as if I know from whom.
It is then when I realize what has happened,
my life here no longer exist.
Will someone just wake me up! !
