The Sleeper's Song


bitter sleep breeds angry agitation,
tossing and turning from dusk till dawn,
missing hours of exhilaration,
as day turns to night then night turns to gone.


a momentary explusion of wide eyed syndrome,
a capacino break causes a trance like state.
Functioning without the recommended "twenty"
keeps me winking all the day long.


No rest for the weary, gotta fair till it gets better.
Endure this plight till the curtains are drawn.
Lay me down in hope of a tranquil endeavor.
Keeper's of the night please play the sleeper's song.
