Never Ending Sleep

Never Ending Sleep

by: J Edward Knox

Open your eyes to a bright new day

Nothing left to want; still less to say

Eyes still drooping

From wearied restless sleep

Open your eyes to a stale old day

So much need; even more to say

Eyes frozen wide

From anxious restless dreams

Pray for sleep

Never ending sleep

Days grow longer with a tyrant sun

Nights grow shorter with the peaceful host

Looking into a mirror

A stranger looks back at me

Light gets brighter blinding us all

Darkness retreats and then it’s gone

Where is my calm

Tranquility vanished again

Can’t make myself sleep

For fear of what’s to come

So I pray for sleep

Endless sleep take me home

Or at least let the storm

Run its course

Shape the dark

Into a new peaceful form
