The following is inspired by an item, that was recently added, in my mental emergency kit.
From the gentle snore of the nearest animal companion To all the minds dozing under flickering street lights Also for all the eye lids that just won't stay shut Intended for all the minds too hot to burrow under their blanket And to those both hidden and lost in the moon's shadow Tomorrow isn't quite here yet Although to some perspectives, tomorrow never arrives The sun isn't shaped to reflect the calendar's date Just like the moon isn't a paper weight placed on "today" That reflection staring at you in the water is casted from the present Its source is also placed in the same place in time Not every bad memory is here Nor has every victory occurred Both types of thoughts square dance behind those tired eyes Maybe we should forgot about all of those for a moment Prop up against your safest place Begin to count the facts Your imagination is yours and resides where it belongs I can't be certain that I'll finish this piece or see you again Your eyes won't catch on fire if you stop sleeping But you might lose your grip on the torch you bare Time's representative is never late for your fate Even if it has to drag you there When it comes to a mate, you may never find that jigsaw piece But what is one missing piece to a life sized puzzle Focusing on spelling piece or peace can make all the difference Over the entirety of time, it has been spelled both ways You won't discover a third way, many have tried Someone out there cares about you If you can't find anyone, then I must be resting in history No matter who, where, or what you are or pretend to be And if you are just too tired to message me to live in my thoughts Then find a mirror, that person cares Even if you both try to deny that fact Your body may reside in time, but it doesn't share many similarities Time is infinite Your version of the world is finite Time keeps going even if your watch battery dies Your body needs rest It isn't desirable to live in your dreams Ask a coma patient I can't guarantee how much time it will take to get that answer Breathe out the hot dense air of the past Cover up to avoid the chill of tomorrow's shadow Take joy in restoring your only known vessel in this life And remember that I love you all From my starry wink to your weary mind Sleep well, and I'll try to do the same
