Awakening
Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.
Awakened Anew
My eyes are opened, but not to see
My heart is quickened, but not for life
A door is opened, but not to go through
My thoughts are renewed, but not for thinking
The day has dawned, but not for morning
The sun shines bright, but not for warmth
The birds sing a chorus, but not for the ears
I'm ready, I've been awakened,
for now and for many years
