The Difference Between Being Awake and Being Alive

Awake you suck

The air molecules into lungs that

Unknowingly go on with their work

To provide oxygen to brain cells

That send the neurological signals

To your writhing muscles as your

Thumbs, sliding and pounding

Crush all the candy.

Alive you scream

The air out of freezing lungs as feet

Burn with friction from the downhill sprint

The wet grass soaks your clothes

And the fog breaks open to a view

Of the ocean, which fits itself through

The windows of your eyes and crams

Into your mind and spirit causing it to expand

Yes, it threatens to explode

The one thing I ask, the thing I seek most, is to live in the house of the Lord all my life, delighting in His beauty and meditating on His glories.
