Sleeper


Jealousy holds no bonds How dare you in the room next door Sighing in sleep, twist and snore! Boasting of your time in temporary death The calm nothingness Vivid dream, the highlight Of shuffled bedding I envy the glory of nothingness Solace is looking at shapes Patterned by shifting light on the ceiling The owl hooting, whistling of the breeze Banging of brances againt the window Is the only scuffing sound You sleepers are lucky The night caresses you But for me it suffocates Snuffing out the joy of peaceful nothingness, vivid dreams.
