the luminosity of spring~~~ awakens the mind

 

 

 


'The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you---
don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want--
don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill,
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open--
don't go back to sleep
.'

  10. I agree with Willow...I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep, thinking that I would not oversleep. I'll never do that again! I was almost late for work and it has been a really slow, tired day.
