I can't wake up

I can't wake up!
Can someone please
Shake me
And don't stop until
You wake me.
Don't be soft
You won't break me.
I just have to open my eyes
And see ahead.
It will surprise me
If I'm dead.

I need to wake up!
Can you find my number
And call me.
Stop fooling around.
I need the sound.
I can't feel the ground.
All around me.

I want to wake up!
I need to remember
My name.
To make sure my
Face hasn't changed.
And just to be certain
I'll lift up these curtains
And walk though the crowd
Once again.

I can't wake up!
Or was waking just
Falling to sleep?
Finding new ways to dream
But inside where we gleam,
Jewels are unseen.
And all that lies between
We can keep.

Poetry and Motion

When you've got a lot on
demands are strong

it's easy to go past 

your stop and continue

chugging away

relentlessly...

Screaming away like a mad fool!

Look at you there

Screeching, and wailing

As you charge round and round

on your tracks.

You're not a machine!

You're more like an organic bean,

And Braveheart was not just a film,

And Hitler was defeated for a reason!

The travels are best 

When you take in the view.

So take some time

To do what you did do

before the journey began

and the robot was born

and the calm gave way

to the storm.

Just take something 

small

right through to the end,

then everything else

won't

drive you

round 

the bend.
