I'm Awake

I'm awake.
Separated from my dreams,
that you could never take.
But I'm awake,
headstrong to face the world,
that seized to give me break.
Yet I'm awake,
and the ocean in between
is nothing but a lake.
So I'm awake,
experiencing the dream,
avoiding its mistake.

and I'm not dead,
so all the signs I've seen,
and all the ones I've read...
"I'm still not dead"
were to mislead me home,
just dreaming in my bed.
Until I'm dead,
I'm lying here awake,
just living in my head.
But I'm not dead,
until the weaver reaches
the ending of my thread.
