Dreaming of Sleep

More tasks than time
Challenge every day.
As such, precious moments -
Undedicated hours
Unclaimed seconds
Gleam beyond polished gold,
Sparkle above shined silver.

Mindless minutes
Recharge
Wear from sleepless nights -
Turbulent times without dreams
Or psychic relief.
Claim me back to lucidity
And simplest sanity.

Soul’s salvation,
Emotion’s energy,
Rational revelation upon
Eternity’s clock
Call habits to justify
Brain drain and cerebral calories.
Let me sleep early tonight.
