Waking Up Is Not Hard To Do It Is Next To Impossible
All I Want To Do Is Sleep
My body is wiped out
I just want to stay in bed
Curl up in a warm blanket and hide my head
Let the world go on without me
I love what I am doing and there is nothing nicer than sleeping
I go to a land where anything can and will happen
Where right is easy and wrong is no where to be found
When people try their personal best because it feels so good
Other people laugh all day and have no reason to stop
Beautiful flowers and so many reminders of nature surround us
Animals roam free
People work helping each other out of sincerity
Life is filled with new challanges and commitment to do better
There is no concept of time and sharing is just understood
Then a noise in a distance pulls my world away
I see the world shrinking right before my eyes
The noise becomes louder and louder
It becomes so annoying and now old fears and regrets become known
I hear the sound it is my alarm clock and I have to get up
All my dreams and thoughts soon are pushed to the back burner
I hear my phone ring and it's my work
Where are you ?
I was in a world you wouldn't understand
I am just getting up and I must of over slept
With the distance I have to travel and by the time I get dressed it will be about noon time when I get there
O.k. we need you
We are short handed and are busy
Hurry and get here as soon as you can
My perfect world has vanished
It has crashed and burst into flames
Life is what we make it to be
Until we find ways to change it
I would love to stay home and write
But I have to go earn my living else where
I work in a kitchen and cook for a living
I serve food for the hungry
Not the poor
Not the lonely and sad
Just people without names and blank faces
Until my life changes this is where my future lies
Not dreaming of a land where men and woman can fly without wings
In their minds with words and beautiful thoughts we think
Shared by all with just one blink

kj force You are right again.It's like putting a fresh coat of paint on an old house.Soon it looks like new and even though we know what it was just hours before.Changing our day to a better one will always be my way of making it a good day.So nice to see you.How are the exercises going in the pool?In spirit I am watching you pool side with a drink in my hand with a little unbrella and a piece of pineapple sticking out.So no slacking.Have a wonderful night.
DREAM ON...This my friend is why we write..for moments just like this..but..all are not so lucky, for when they awake, the dream is not even a memory..let alone a poem to be shared with the world...and the other thing is when your day gets ugly, you can mentally escape back to your dream and others are not even aware..this is how WE cope with the " quirks" handed to us in our world...great job..have a wonderful week-end..we dropped 30 degrees in 24 hours..cold..cold..but welcomed and needed rain...

Ah...dreams can be so lovely. I liked the way you described yours. Too bad our days cannot always be as lovely as our dreams. Voted up. Wishing you the best life has to offer even when you are not dreaming. :)

What a rude awakening that was! I hope the rest of that day went better.

lovedoctor926 Work and sleep keep life in balance.I love both but when I can I rather do extra sleep than extra work.Thanx so much for sharing.
Sleep is delightful until you're suddenly awoken by strange noises and then once you're awoken, it's hard to go back to sleep because you start worrying about the realities of life. And having to wake up early is a drag, you would much rather stay in bed resting, but you have no choice because if you don't work, then you don't have money and if you don't have money, you can't pay your bills or feed your family.
