The morning sounds grow louder now
to wake the one content to stay
unmindful of the day.

There are promises in sleep
that never are complete
and love forever weakened
by the hours I do not sleep
because sun brings up a distance
that life will not undo
and turns the moonlight hours
into a repeat.

But this sign to close my mind,
an evil token hanging
in tempt of disavowal,
has no meaning or effect
on the truth of love ~
so, so, so, swing, swing, swing;
the wind of life can’t motivate
what never will be seen!

Sleep, sleep, sleep....yes, I wish I could get some of that!  Not able to this night.  It's 5 a.m. here and I'm still trying to turn off.  Maybe it's just as you say her, Helen.  I like this one very much.  *hugs*....jo
