If no one is sleeping

Why then should I sleep

My mind cannot rest

No more slumbering deep

One was awakened by people in need

Two woke up to deep breathe

Three spent the previous day sleeping and was all slept out

Four had to deal with kids and doubt

One day they will dine

Or maybe they won’t

Three can’t keep promises

Four is obligated out

Two wouldn’t know in what direction to look

One will expect perfection after all of the hassle it took

Four people awake

Pondering things

Aging, missed opportunities, their body, realistic dreams

Hearing the rain

Longing for much

More complications abound

Each day our lives touch
