VISIONS OF SLUMBER

lasergraph

 

My eyelids just keep getting heavy.

My consciousness keeps fading away.

Sleep keeps invading like a stranger,

Looking for a place it can stay.

 

The sun has gone into hiding.

Darkness snuck in like a thief.

I keep battling the fall into the slumber,

That keeps promising to give me relief.

 

The days are most all filled with struggles,

The night time stands out like a prize.

Dreamland keeps calling me over,

Just waiting till I close my eyes.

 

The visions that visit in my slumber,

Can often bring anxiety and fear.

I will often look for solutions,

But the lessons learned are not clear.

 

When I am weary I'll always seek refuge,

Hoping to find it in my bed.

My pillow is attempting seduction,

Offering a place for my head.

          I doze easily in front of the TV. Perhaps a commentary on the programming.

          Sleep, our respite from this dark dream. Dreams, our contact with reality. Thought-provoking poem, lg!

            Sometimes I work harder in my sleep than when I am awake.

          • myself and me

            I shall read this again before I go to bed. It drove me sleepy.

            Sounds like you need the Dream Police to re-direct the traffic to a detour. Sweet dreams my friend. ; )

            Good write, I am and always have been an early riser but now having been retired for over five years I can nap anytime anywhere.
