I awaken slowly from a deep sleep,
mind still groggy from my slumber.
A noise bringing me to reality,
somewhere off in the distance.
As the world creeps into my reality,
I begin to hear a faint ringing.
The phone, my mind comprehends.
The phone, answer the phone.
I stumble from my bed and run,
before the call goes unanswered.
Hello, hello who's there,
but alas I hear only the dial tone.
