A lovely poem about a troubled mind keeping a person from sleeping.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Why are you a wake?
You must sleep, sleep for heaven sake!
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Why are you pacing?
If you keep that up, your heart will be racing
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Why are you crying?
Is someone dying?
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Why are you bleeding?
Stop, stop I am pleading.
Stop that pacing.
Stop that crying
Please, let me help stop that bleeding.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Come here please.
With all this dust, I am about to sneeze.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Come here now.
Before you fall down
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Come sit with me.
Coffee or tea?
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
Come have dinner with me.
Come, come have a seat
Before you wake the whole Goddamn town.
Before the drinks gets too cold and
The dinner gets too lean
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
What is on your mind?
You are pacing so much, that you are now keeping time
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
What got you so worked up?
You are so fired up.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
What is with you?
You need to tell me soon.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
What plagues you?
Are you still thinking about that feud
Or that nice handsome dude?
Is that what got you so fired up,
that you are now keeping time?
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
You must tell me
So I can go back to sleep.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
You must tell me
Or I will put you to sleep.
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
For crying out loud
I will put you out
Or go mad
Wakeful Heart, Wakeful Heart
I am contemplating murder,
Throwing you out on the street,
Give you drugs that will make you sleep
Oh better yet, I’ll just sing….
Sing of beauty,
Sing of grace
Sing of dreams
Sing of you…
Sweet dreams…
My Wakeful Heart
