This poem was included in my second poetry book, Asleep and Dreaming.
Rest
I’m in a nest of blankets.
I have work to do, but
It can wait until later.
The soft rain outside
And the darkness of the sky
Is lulling me away to sleep.
I can give myself this hour
To just rest and recharge.
What good am I to myself
Or anyone else, actually
If I continue to drag on?
Dreamland is calling, so
I’ll make a short trip.
While the real world
Moves on without me
And I take a small break.
I’ll awake with more energy
And a desire to work again.
My brain will lose its fog
And my focus will come back.
I just need this one hour
To let sleep pull me in
The rain and dark skies call me
I only need a little rest.
