Sweet! I wonder what kind of dream he's having.

REVEILLE
by A. E. Houseman

Wake: the silver dusk returning
Up the beach of darkness brims,
And the ship of sunrise burning,
Strands upon the eastern rims.

Wake: the vaulted shadow shatters,
Trampled to the floor it spanned,
And the tent of night in tatters
Strews the sky-pavilioned land.

Up, lad, up, 'tis late for lying:
Hear the drums of morning play;
Hark, the empty hallways crying
"Who'll beyond the hills away?"

Towns and countries woo together,
Forelands beacon, belfries call;
Never lad that trod on leather
Lived to feast his heart with all.

Up, lad: thews that lie and cumber
Sunlit pallets never thrive;
Morns abed and daylight slumber
Were not meant for man alive.

Clay lies still, but blood's a rover;
Breath's a ware that will not keep.
Up, lad: when the journey's over
There'll be time enough to sleep.

I hope he comes out of the coma soon and in good health.

My good wishes go to all involved, and my hopes for a happy outcome.

Very, very sad. I hope he gets well soon. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Mandy! I really hope that this means he'll wake up soon.

Just a quick update. Charles has been talking up a storm in his sleep; which is fairly odd. Like I’ve said before he’s pretty much a solid sleeper. The experts going over his case think he’s close to a breakthrough in coming out of his coma.

Encouraging news to be sure! I'll continue to say prayers.

That's good to hear, Mandy. Hopefully, Rev will be up and about in no time.
