Wake Up

by Rachel Bennett

The sun set long ago, and yet
Here you wait for it to rise;
Slow reaction time? No,
For even if you had missed today's,
Tuesday's or Wednesday's should have sufficed.
Blindness? No, not that either,
For you always seem to know
Exactly what it is you want to see.
You would rather turn your back
Than face the discrepancy that is your life.

I like the weaving of questions and answers and those last two lines are honest, courageous, and show a large cup of wisdom... poured out for us to enjoy and become your student.
