The Dreamer's Waltz Poem by Bryan Taplits

No way can I dance today
No way can I go forth,
No wonders will I see again
No sorties to be reborn.
For though I am torn between two worlds
I still yearn to stretch and soar,
But asleep I am, and so deep I am,
As though I'm behind an impervious door.
But now, thank God!
I am awake again
My deep slumber
has been awakened from my core,
Yes! Now I can rejoice again
and dance again-
when I couldn't just before.
