Sleep

Folder: 
first poems

sleep, the precious, the loved, the hated and the damned

sleep is precious, without it we couldn't live

without sleep we cannot try

going without sleep is a sure way to die

 

sleep is loved

it is great for a tired soul

a tired body, and a tired mind

sleep keeps a person sane and whole

 

sleep is hated too

sleep wastes time, and loses valuable  moments

sleep keeps a restless spirit from its full  potential

and from its full capabilities

 

sleep is damned,

for every time that we sleep we get a glimpse of death,

a quick view of our eternal rest,

the common fate of all mankind

 

sleep is the essence of both life and death

the break in life's cycle and

the power for its continuation

sleep is the ultimate of necessities
