Awake And Dreaming Poem by Patti Masterman

Awake and dreaming one sunlit night,
I dreamed you lived, and knew you died;
Knew I loved you, deep inside-
And hated breath, we breathed in lies.

Awake and dreaming, one dark day,
I thought I heard your thought, to say
You loved me well, a hated dream-
And waking, hated what I seemed.

Awake or dreaming, hate or love
Emotions are just gift enough
To keep us busy day and night
From darkest dawn, to breaking night.
