Rouse yourself

“ROUSE YOURSELF !!!”
was racing through
my mind last night.
“But why?” I queried.
“I want to sleep.”
“GET UP! GET UP!”
Reluctantly, obediently
I arose, shook off
The intruding quasi-thoughts
Replaced them with
Divine assurance and
Got back in bed.
This morning I awoke
More alert, better equipped
From the sweetest sleep
I had ever known.
