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
