As I Awake
by Karen
Sunrise
I'm not sure whether this is strictly my connection with nature as much as it is just connecting with myself and the energies in the universe. I have never written a poem before in my life but after this 'awakening' I felt driven to try to express what is happening to me, the new, extreme sensations that I'm experiencing in all aspects of my life, and the fear that this new, wonderful way of life may disappear as quickly as it seemed to appeared to me.
The words of this poem were 'born' in 15 minutes or less. It was such an emotional outlet, I found myself in tears during the process. I have been very protective of my 'offspring' for the past few months, only sharing it with 2 people until today. Hopefully, other HSP's will appreciate the feelings I am now willing to share.
AS I AWAKE
As I awake
Earth cradles me
Wiping away my tears.
As I awake
Earth stretches with me
Her strong smell comforting.
As I awake
Earth whispers to me
Revealing hidden secrets.
As I awake
Earth sings to me
Her sweet harmonies joyous.
As I awake
At last receptive
Love permeates my soul.
As I awake
Earth embraces me
Her sensuality excites.
As I awake
The world is bright, beautiful
Enticing with wonders unknown.
I am so alive, I cannot be denied
Energy, Intensity, Power
Surge through my body and mind.
But the darkness is always looming
. . . . . . . . .
Never will I allow sleep to possess me again.
