A Time To Sleep
Sleep is a gift; given without warning;
usually in the essence of time;
a respite between sunset and morning;
awareness; stopping on a dime.
Going to sleep is like taking vacations;
without making plans in advance;
dreams usher in mysterious situations;
some sleep is more like a trance.
Most of us usually try to schedule sleep;
planning when we’ll go to bed;
getting sleep is a difficult promise to keep;
and we’re often kept awake, instead.
We often attempt to go without sleep;
but sleep carries its own alarm;
proving, again, what we sow; we’ll reap;
sleep prevents emotional harm.
Sometimes, many of us sleep in a chair;
tho it wasn’t our intention;
God created us to sleep anywhere;
rest was the Master’s invention.
Many try to sleep at a time of their choice;
thinking they’ve better things to do;
but, the lack of sleep; has its own voice;
exhaustion is a most toxic brew.
In the essence of time; all things shall be;
a time to laugh; and a time to weep;
you must become you; and I must be me;
and, we all must take time to sleep.
