Awake

Roused out of dreams
still swirling
in the vanishing mists
awaiting dawn
when the sun creeps up
in the soft glow of the horizon
they play around
in the dark
dancing around in my mind
which sleep abandoned
at my hour of need
want is all I can do
in my sleep
my dreams take me to you
now I am awake
all I have is
the distance that separates us.
