“Awake
Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and
choose the sign of your day
The day’s divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach
in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon, the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon,
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.”
“Awake! Sun is shining, it’s Saturday morning.
I sit up in bed with some stretching and yawning.
My beautiful wife, the love of my life,
Looks terribly grim and it signals a warning...
I ask her, “My darling, what troubles you so?”
She goes on to tell me her tale of woe.
“I’ve booked a girls’ dinner but I’ve nothing to wear!”
And now I must prepare for what she will declare.”

“Awake thee, my Lady-Love! Wake thee, and rise! The sun through the bower peeps Into thine eyes.”

“awake, then die
in the arms of a modified lover
sleep, then dream
in the absence of a tangible lover
envision, then sing
in the thralls of a hungry lover”
Source: The Abattoir of Silence
“Awake! there is always a reason to give up and there is always a reason to soldier on unrelentingly. Don't give up so easily on a true purpose just because you perceive an arduous errand. Arise for you can do something to overcome something! Look beyond what you look and awaken your inner man. Move! And you shall surely see a fabulous end!”
“Awake to the Name
To be born in a human body is rare,
Don’t throw away the reward of your past good
deeds.
Life passes in an instant – the leaf doesn’t go back to
the branch.
The ocean of rebirth sweeps up all beings hard,
Pulls them into its cold-running, fierce, implacable
currents.
Giridhara, your name is the raft, the one safe-passage
over.
Take me quickly.
All the awake ones travel with Mira, singing the
name.
She says with them: Get up, stop sleeping – the days
of a life are short.”
Source: Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems
“Awake U sleepers; Arise U prophets; and speak U servants of the LORD.
Declare Ur future; Decree HIS wisdom; and live by the power of HIS Word! Ur load gets lighter; Ur day shines brighter when memory bows to HIS name.
For in an instance; all ur resistance is melted like snow melts the rain. U R Kings and Priests;
U R whole and free; & the day of dominion is here. Speak all that u see; till peace surrounds thee for HIS Kingdom like breath is so near.”
“Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine,
Unwind the solemn twine, and tie my Valentine!
Oh the Earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
For sighing, and gentle whispering, and unity made of twain.
All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair!
The bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one,
Adam, and Eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun;
The life doth prove the precept, who obey shall happy be,
Who will not serve the sovereign, be hanged on fatal tree.
The high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
None cannot find who seeketh, on this terrestrial ball;
The bee doth court the flower, the flower his suit receives,
And they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves;
The wind doth woo the branches, the branches they are won,
And the father fond demandeth the maiden for his son.
The storm doth walk the seashore humming a mournful tune,
The wave with eye so pensive, looketh to see the moon,
Their spirits meet together, they make their solemn vows,
No more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose.
The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride,
Night unto day is married, morn unto eventide;
Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true,
And Earth is quite coquettish, and beseemeth in vain to sue.
Now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
To bringing thee to justice, and marshalling thy soul:
Thou art a human solo, a being cold, and lone,
Wilt have no kind companion, thou reap'st what thou hast sown.
Hast never silent hours, and minutes all too long,
And a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song?
There's Sarah, and Eliza, and Emeline so fair,
And Harriet, and Susan, and she with curling hair!
Thine eyes are sadly blinded, but yet thou mayest see
Six true, and comely maidens sitting upon the tree;
Approach that tree with caution, then up it boldly climb,
And seize the one thou lovest, nor care for space, or time!
Then bear her to the greenwood, and build for her a bower,
And give her what she asketh, jewel, or bird, or flower —
And bring the fife, and trumpet, and beat upon the drum —
And bid the world Goodmorrow, and go to glory home!”

All praise to thee, who safe hast kept and hast refreshed me while I slept! Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. All praise to thee, my God, this night for all the blessings of the light. Keep me, oh keep me, King of Kings, beneath Thine own almighty wings. Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
“Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition and the pride of kings. Let us (since life can little more supply Than just to look about us, and to die) Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan.”

“Awaken the Journey Within
I'm Awakening the Journey Within,
as I’m standing still, breathing in the light,
Awareness grows, turning wrong to right.
Each thought, a spark, igniting my flame,
I am awakening now, no longer the same.
With clarity rising, I see the way,
The path of love guides my steps each day.
Through inner peace, I’m breaking free,
The truth of my soul is my destiny.
Enlightenment is the goal,
Love is the game,
Taking steps are the rules ,
With wisdom, love and grace, I’m finding my way.
Each moment’s a chance to renew,
Awakening the soull within.
I’m building my world with each mindful move,
Strategic steps help my spirit improve.
Compassion flows where shadows once stayed,
I’m walking a path where my destination is known.
Through balance, I rise, with harmony near,
My vision is clear, no diversion possible.
I surrender control, let soul divine steer,
Creating a life that feels sincere.
I’m transcending limits, I’m shedding the old,
Through unity’s fire, my spirit turns gold.
Radiance blooms as I trust in my truth,
Illumination shines through eternal youth.
Every action I take is a seed I’ve sown,
A garden of love, where my strength has grown.
The whispers of unconditional love guide my being,
I’m aligned with the universe, love the creator .
Now I move with purpose, my heart open wide,
Guided by love, with the divine as my guide.
Each step is a gift, each breath, a new start,
Awakening fully, I’m living with heart.
I see the oneness in all that surrounds,
Harmony rises, where joy abounds.
Empowered by wisdom, I’m free to create,
Shaping my journey, designing my paradise.
I awaken the light, it shines in me,
A beacon so bright for the world to see.
In truth, in love, It's our design,
Living in purpose, my soul’s aligned.
"I rise with illumination; I walk with grace,
Eternal wisdom shines from my soul.
Awakening, my journey is where I thrive,
With love as my power, I’m fully alive.
With love as my power, I’m fully alive.”

“AWAKENING
A moment awakening:
Clouds knotted across the sky
And I let the day flood in
Listening to the heartbeat of the world
As I gaze out of my window
Around my room are lullabies
Of light dancing
In glorious forms
Folded like dough
Across the hardwood floors
I cannot sleep
I must arise”
Source: From Here to Eternity

Source: Time To Awaken
“Awakening and owning the dreams that God has placed in our hearts isn't about getting stuff or attaining something. It's about embracing who we are and who he has created us to be. In him. He is our dream come true, and the one true love of our life. But we can't love him with our whole hearts when our hearts are asleep. To love Jesus means to risk coming awake, to risk wanting and desiring.”
