Waking

on

Soft nudging from a teeming world you walk amidst

Silence beckons you to come closer

Warmth of the absence has captured your being

You are not held hostage but stand in awe

Night has faded into gray hues

The moon drifts off as the sun begins to stir

Toes collecting earth moist with morning dew

Bare soles connect you to its beating heart

For a brief moment you are joined as one

Renewing a consciousness deafened by din

Tomorrow is waiting again
