Are you awake?
Are you lying there awake, and writing your beautiful poetry?
I just can't sleep, and I am so tired, it's closing in on nearly three.
I know that the words will come out right, if this is meant to be.
I know that most the world's asleep now, except for you and me.
So I lay here awake, and write my poetry, for the world to see.
Each poem that we sit and write, will be reviewed so differently.
Staying positive in all that we do, maintaining our independancy.
Still waiting for the day, that our souls can be free for eternity.
This is my hope and my yearning, that our souls can be set free!
