Sleep Isn't for the Weak
Sleep is for the resilient
those who relish what they experience
and experience in the light
which dwindles and simmers
with the day.
Sleep is for those
who speak subconsciously
consuming the world
behind wearisome eyes.
Sleeps comes
as the escape
and recovery
while the world
impacts those who remain
awake.
Sleep is the fruit
of every harvest between days and nights,
so the encumbered may survive and thrive.
Sleep breeds the seed
sprouting essences of our minds
dormantly realizing.
actively collecting.
Sleep is the escape
that seizes time and surroundings
so let the end stretch
so I will never awake.
