in dead of night
head is light
limbs of lead,
as flight wings spread,
kite as zed
soars

in bed, eyes tight,
thoughts anfractuous
as thread, benight
with oughts vacuous
as moment black
all things i lack
dissolve, ne'er were,
memory, a blur,
detours

yet if spirit wakes
soul intoxicates
at this hour,
the skies, as flower,
heart ascends,
on Your lap, as on a friend's,
my broken mends,
adores

but in day
life loud 'n gay
head's heavy
with annoyance 'n chevy
strife leads the way
as joyful play
experience to levy
life's confetti
stores
