are you awake
and aware
or are you
asleep
walking through life
chasing things to do
making memories that will last
your lifetime
are you numb
do you remember everything
with clarity and sentiment
or are many things
lost to you
as soon as they are gone
slipping through your fingertips
lost in time
will you remember them later
did they matter so much
or is it really
the people
you remember most
do your days blend together
same and yet different
full of nothing special
but a fleeting moment
now and then
when you catch a glimpse of more
and understand
there IS more
it can be different
are you content
or are you asleep
you have the power
to change
to choose
to see
wake up and use it!
