Sleep



Philosophy has answers
Questions about life
Not answered by life
Nightlife apart from life
Alive and Dead
Heat of the Moon
Felt in the room
Awaiting the Sun
Rays Cold filled with hope

Dust settles on time
Time punchual with Dusk
Clock keeps its date
With the night
Day after Day

Time to Settle
Thoughts Unsettled
End of the day Tired
Dawn of Dusk Wired

Simple Answer Sleep
Body Mind to Rest
In a state so Deep
Break from reality
Mind runs a story
Running like a stream
Packaged as a Dream

Dream as a term
During the day
Signifies a entity
Far and Away

Quoted in Future tense
At present doesn't make sense
Odds of happening
In the word lies the meaning

Clock ticks slower
Deal made with the Stars
Brightest aspect of the night
Glittering a visual marvel
Truth of life unravels
Sense of I
Temporarily blind
Mere sight of the galaxy
Perspective of human entity

Stridulation sounds
Wings clapping
Made by the Cricket
Screams Whistles Barks and Shrieks
The sounds of the Owl
Ducts and pipes
Expanding and contracting
Define the night
Blind to the eye the
Silence filled with noice

Nights plugged
Amplifier in
Decibels increased
Searching for the sound
Endbound never found
Physical form to music
Easier to find logic

Finding Sleep
Inner peace
Up to the brim
Shuteye not a problem

Awake and Alone
Waiting for the Sun
Long dark wait
Slow Motion of Night

Darkness of the hours
Brings forth the fears
Inflated and Corrupted
Thought process interferes
Mind playing Poker
Alone with the loner

Beds filled with calm
Facing life face to face
Sleep their balm
Tire of the day
Balanced at night
Law of nature
What a sight
Deep sense of jealousy
People who notice not the night peacefully

Disillusioned with illusions
Tired of being awake
Created noises fading away
Real voices holding sway
Days divides the night
Twelve hours in hand
Till Sun leaves the land
Merging into the sea
Done its duty duty free
Spend the day
Just like yesterday
Day dreaming about
Sleeping at Night
