Poetry: Wake Me

The black sky extended its shelter above me,
As a hand pulled me from the depths of the dark sea.
I watched the terror before me unfold,
Until I awoke, my skin icy cold.

The stars shone through the night,
As a hand pulled me from this meadow of delight.
The sweet smell of pollen surrounded me,
Until I opened my eyes and reminisced sweetly.

The early sunshine touched my skin,
As a hand pulled opened the window and extended in.
I held warm bodies close to me,
Then I closed my eyes, but tears broke free.

"Don't wake me," I called out desiringly,
As white wings immerged awe-inspiringly.
"Time to open your eyes," it responded to my weeping.
While I begged, "Don't wake me, I'm not sleeping!".
