I DO NOT WAKE TO GROPE

I do not wake to grope

But waking see

Your need as warm as hope Immediately.

I do not wake to seek

But waking find

Your tones and what they speak

In my mind.

I do not wake to climb

From despair

But waken into time

And heaven there.

I do not wake to ask

But waking know

Shores where the thoughts may bask

And feeling flow.
