Please Let Me Rest Alone in silence, as we sleep, The thoughts creep in, These dreams we keep. Echoes of fear In subconscious release, A time so vulnerable, Lacking in peace. Wake to an image Of cold apprehension, Pondering the evils That fill rest's distension. A body is worthy Of wealthful repair, But a mind is more difficult To slow and give care To what ultimately will meet A final demise, As the head denies rest And the body expires. The battle it seems Is too commonly present Between a mind's greed And a body's benevolence. "Where there's a will, there's a way, and with these thoughts, to Passions I stray." ~SM |
