Awake!

by Randy - Scorpio

Rise out of restless slumber
From your tent in the desert
Morning rays warm your forgotten soul
Day brings news of no fortune
Waiting for a summer fire
To hold you in eternal shelter
Your dreams come crashing down
In mute, hollow agony
The story told ten thousand times
And evening rains do not silence
A heart that screams into the night
To an audience of a hundred lights
Pale evening casts it's lonely shadow
Aging ever so slowly the future
Time again for the next act
Of your life's secret drama
Awake!
