I’d Rather Be Asleep

In dark of night
deprived of sleep for noises
breaking meditation

gazing where the darkness
creeps a patent nothingness
of nascent gloom

where blues and greys
combine in subtle shades
advising me of morning

I glory in the dawn
although I know it
won’t be mine completely

The hints of pink that briefly
light the clouds, lifts its dearth
of sleeplessness

Shroud denied I yawn
and greet the day, complain
I’d rather be asleep.
