Awakening

Stepping from the bright to dark
From glaring sun to rain
I felt a brain and body spark
Alleviate the pain

Dreaming of mind sinking
In another realm
It shocked me into thinking
And led to overwhelm

It spoke my name softly
But persistently too
I listened hard, I listened fast
And so it grew and grew

But somewhere between sleep and wake
My senses came to
I let go of that stabbing ache
And sanity shone through.
