Wake brain

Poem by Roger Iredale

WAKE BRAIN,
            DRAW BREATH,
                                CRY LIFE

Return once more to consciousness, the roar
of being, of seeing half-bright galaxies
roaming overhead, of struggles in foaming
floods of alien words, new faces, birds
at daybreak, trees, the joy of laughter, bees,
and tales of mystery, imagination, history.
