Good morning

This could be the day when

Miracles unfold before us
Without our seeking them
All the birds in the tree have
Left looking for their first food
After waking us with their panic
Last night i saw a family shifting
With their ceiling fans and furniture
To an unseen home of uncertainties
I look at the sky and wish there were
Snowcapped mountains looking back
At us sending shivers down our way
We can't stay here but we don't want to leave 
Though it is time or just about time to
Look back with love at all who have left.

Don't wake me

Dreams are not something to lose

Sleep over even when they are as
Strange as fiction that mines minds
A king put courtiers to death for
Not correctly interpreting a dream
Which apparently foretold a famine
Mine have not been as momentous
But I keep losing my way in a place
As familiar as a workplace or home
An exam I have not prepared for
Still wakes me up though I have
Now left that frightful world behind
Let no dream wake me up before dawn
Rather let me wake up from life itself.
