I awake from my slumber deep
Pulse quickening
Blood thickening
Restraints from days gone by chafe
Anchored to toil; lack of sleep
Resisting time to keep them safe
Whirring thoughts come back to life
New elevator music plays
Commitments engage; unsheathed knife
Heart ember glows
Vent system blows
Smoldering passion becomes a blaze
Producing sounds of snapping ropes
Courage slices
Slothful vices
Willpower prevails against the clock
I don the day’s armor, gird with hopes
Feet set firmly upon this Rock
Gathering morsels of stable fuels
I fill my lungs with fresh ambition
Pockets and sacks with trusty tools
Cold machines
Backlit screens
Embrace the challenge of the mission
Putting out fires and filling cups
Strengthened muscle
Daily bustle
Inspiring others and crafting thoughts
Feeding birds and watering turnips
Cooking love in boiling pots
Patching up holes and building bridges
Chastening children to stay in form
Conduits, lights, fans and fridges
Sharpening skills
Picking up spills
Maintenance of a healthy norm
I reach the end of journeyed day
Remember blessing, and thankful, pray
Basking in joy and purpose found
Exemplify peace and order all around
Firmly planted roots will stay
Treasure in heaven will abound
And myself a moment, if I may
Cry tears in song
Teach right from wrong
And bring your willing heart along
As I write my story through text, scene and sound
