one wakes within us – v4

woken from slumber
deep, primal,
more powerful, urgent
a rider, a beast, emerging
a mammal, or more ancient

a rider awakens from slumber
shaking of the blanket
our masters within
deep and abiding
triggering nerve endings

alive within us
up from the depths
usurping power
the snake, the monster
taking control

woken from slumber
from our control
the rider driving
raging within us
deep in our souls

usurping power
over our bodies
driving, driving
longing for slumber
yet driven by fear
