Words in banter batter down,
I’ve listened the sun around,
From darkness falling from light
Till the day returning bright.

A nightmare briefly delayed.

Silence has it’s stoic play,
Awake daybreak makes display,
Ending all conversation,
Moving a new direction.

A nightmare briefly delayed.

Now the daylight is all set,
Moments doing won’t forget,
That nightmare plays tomorrow,
Night of departed sorrow.

I really like the meaning of this verse.....

               "Silence has it’s stoic play,
                Awake daybreak makes display,
                Ending all conversation,
                Moving a new direction."

The rest is very good also....good poem!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

I do find that sleep is generally an over rated condition. And to paraphrase- no sleep no nightmares.
