As I lay dozing
Resisting this wakefulness
Longing for more rest

Gently through my hair, my skin;
A life, wild, free

Familiar friends

Forcing upon skin
The beauty of cloud-free skies

Once the dreams are accomplished
Yet there’s much more life

Leaving my lips far too fast
Birthing new regrets

An empty focus
Driving towards reflexive goals
Neglecting one’s soul
