Rip Lazybones Mar 2016
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
