You know what I want and need.
It is sleep uninterrupted.
A luxury that the youth waste.
A luxury that we appreciate as we age.
Give it to me in waves of pleasure.
Cool breezes that lull me to sleep.
A comfortable pillow that supports my neck.
A cloud of a bed that gently holds my body in place.
A refuge to dream and design to create.
This is what I long for at the moment.
It’s 5:15 am and I can hear the birds calling me to come to sleep.
I don’t listen even though they make sense.
I write and write till the light comes out, I see it and always marvel at how night turns to day so effortlessly.
‘A luxury that we appreciate as we age.’ – So true! Enjoyed this poem. 🙂
The last line just stole my heart, it is true that how effortlessly night turns into day… Great work! 🙂
