79. Now Aware

When I peeked into my mind the first time

I was shocked to find

A babbling brook

When I took a closer look

I saw streams of dreams
I was really shaken

When it dawned on me
I'd just awakened

Now aware
I watched my mind meander 

Here, there and everywhere

When my attention tether tightened

And grew taut
Now aware
I breathed a mindful breath
To remind myself
To remain awake

Instead of drifting off to sleep again
In an endless flow of roaming thought
