Snooze Button

Walk down slowly
through 
the wide chasm
of dreamland
sleeping so
comfortably
in innocence.

Wake not
to the alarm of reality 
but attempt
to hit the snooze button,
one more time.
keep the dream alive.

Feel not,
the pain
of awakening
only to realize
the lies
of dreamland.

Drown in the tears
of lonliness
swim unto defeat
of fear
and hoplessness.

Awake, Awake!
sleep not another wink.
Awake and begin to dream 
with your eyes wide open
for the snooze button
is only set
for five minute intervals
and awakening
is no longer
a choice
freely made.
