To me,
You're awake-ish. Rub the sleep from your eyes, stretch, and roam free.
I never knew the length of which one could sleep and wake up refreshed, but I suppose the question is do I truly feel refreshed or is this merely an emotion I feel in this moment. Will it last? Will I drift off again due to certain circumstances? I don't have the answer to any of these questions.
The fact I sit here in bed with my husband merely makes me wonder, has this place truly changed? Has it merely remained the same? The same people, the same drama, the same utter ******** will ultimately led to the destruction of so many relationships, and truths.
We will see. As my husband sleeps beside me I look upon his face as if it's the first time. I feel the love in my heart as I always have and if one aspect of this city remained the same I hope with all my being my marriage to Stefano is it.
I can't help myself but wonder, what will come next for me, for us, for this city. I suppose I will just have to wait and see...
Aura.
The Awakening
James Weldon Johnson, 1871 - 1938
I dreamed that I was a rose
That grew beside a lonely way,
Close by a path none ever chose,
And there I lingered day by day.
Beneath the sunshine and the show’r
I grew and waited there apart,
Gathering perfume hour by hour,
And storing it within my heart,
Yet, never knew,
Just why I waited there and grew.
I dreamed that you were a bee
That one day gaily flew along,
You came across the hedge to me,
And sang a soft, love-burdened song.
You brushed my petals with a kiss,
I woke to gladness with a start,
And yielded up to you in bliss
The treasured fragrance of my heart;
And then I knew
That I had waited there for you.
