deep in the woods I slept birds chirp gentle rain misty fog cool breeze quiet n merry sleep of the angels sleep of the babies nothin more nothin less woke up not to the dream was it the woods ? birds gone gentle acid rain harsh breeze misty smog quiet n merry no more well woods were gone too with no reason to be awake bird’s chirp n rain n mist n breeze was all I took to my dream sleep was all i had now sleep was all i had now

sleep is all we do.
deep in the woods I slept birds chirp gentle rain misty fog cool breeze quiet n merry sleep of the angels sleep of the babies nothin more nothin less woke up not to the dream was it the woods ? birds gone gentle acid rain harsh breeze misty smog quiet n merry no more well woods were gone too with no reason to be awake bird’s chirp n rain n mist n breeze was all I took to my dream sleep was all i had now sleep was all i had now
On Second thoughts how long do we sleep? Till all the forests, ice caps, rivers vanish and the skies turn black and we humans stranded in the deluge to follow. Every phone call you make/receive from a tower powered by diesel generator, drive one of those gas guzzler, carry home stuff in plastics, enjoy your air-conditioned place and print those paper you and me are deep asleep and nowhere close to being alive.
