Sleep

I wince as the light falls upon my closed eyes
Irritated, I shut them further tightly
With a sigh of resignation, I open the couple
Waking to the dreaded winter of dawn

Sleep—oh how I long for it!
My day begins with its farewell, and throughout, my desire heightens
Every waking moment, I wish for Sleep to grace me with its company,
Its dark tresses caressing my eyes shut,
Its warm embrace hugging my bodice
And yet it prevails in the shadows of Time, lingering at the edges of my consciousness, teasing my mind

Alas, as Night falls, it hits me with loud activity
Thus is my state of mind, that at time right, I cannot fall asleep!
And hence my thoughts wander,
Wander to Life, Light and Being
Anxious thoughts quickly follow, abolishing even the slightest drop of calm

As is with the human brain, I glean my own answers to my unspoken questions
And what with all my anxious tossing and turning,
I remember the verses from my scientific learning
It is thus those words I use, to think myself to sleep

I let calm seep in
Let my mind slip in
Into the abyss of dreams, wandering thoughts, impossibilities
It is there, in that liquid- thought state
That I welcome Sleep into the realms of my mind
And gladly I fall onto the down

Sadly to be awakened at the painful desert of Dawn.
