Wake No More

[Dark Muse]

Wake No More

Distilled
from sleep
wakefulness

Awake
trying to return
to unwake
unreality

Dreams
flitting by
unconcerned
butterfly wings
not to be caught

Wide-eyes
seeing nothing
dawn irritating
imitating
something now lost

Trudge
through days
hours; minutes
unassuming
unresponsive

Only for the remedy
nights falling
welcoming; embracing
stilled again
into sleep.

[CathyEarnshaw]

Very nice rhythm, choice of words.

[Dark Muse]

Thank you, this one is a bit different for me.

I noticed the change.

Sometimes I look forward to sleep as a remedy and dreams as a welcomed relief from a passing parade of dull reality.

You write in symbolic notes. I like the way you speak in parables.
