Oh, rest in the digital age

Sometimes rest is hard

Eyes glued to this tiny screen

Turn the device off!

Fearing wakefulness

No I can’t escape 

Dawn’s driving force pushing me 

Fearing wakefulness

Slumber’s Unanswered Call

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

A strange night,
Again awake when I wish to be asleep.
Slumber ignores my humble call
Blindly ignoring both my needs and concerns.

This lack of weariness annoys.
This rationale mind knows,
Knows the exhaustion coming.
Tomorrow’s sunrise.

Dread stares into my eyes,
Unblinking.
