What if you went off to sleep one day and woke up a few years later
What if the castle changed its colors and time had turned a traitor
What would you miss doing the most how would you now catch up
Who would your eyes search for first with whom would your memory match up
What if time went in snooze mode in these intermittent years
What if you slumbered through life motions with unfounded fears
What if you never gave yourself a chance to glance at the mirror and reflect
What if you forgot what you looked like and paused for a break to inspect
What if you let the rest of the world dictate your being and thought
What if you never verified what you were fed and now you are distraught
How would you mend the meanderings how would you bend the space
What would it take to open your eyes to new realities you now have to face
What if you realize the basis of truths and the source of lies told
Where would you seek the courage to challenge it and become bold
How would you steel your nerves to admit fault then stand corrected
How would you reject dishonesties and have your truths resurrected
What if life was beckoning you all the while and you turned your face away
What if you mistook opportunities as hurdles and refused to go that way
What if catnapping drained your energy and you did not take cue
What if you never even tried out of the fear that your fears will come true
What if consciousness was designed in intangibles smiles care families friends
What if after running behind material paybacks the vicious circle never ends
What if you slept through lifespans with eyes wide open and hearts closed
How would you wish to rewrite the script what retentions would you oppose
