[hometext] => A Shakespearean-style sonnet on "waking up" after a sleepless night
[bodytext] => With each night that I lay myself to sleep, I find the day’s enactment more rapid, Though longer do I wait for dreams to creep, Upon me, cast themselves on my eye-lid. Softly playing music sets the night’s mood, While my body seeks a peaceful posture, Within my active mind, strangest thoughts brood, I patiently await the morning’s cure. Through the drawn drapes dawn’s light does gently seep, Trickling in like dew down a blade of grass, And waking me from my imagined sleep, Quickly fills the room as one muted mass. I rise, swearing never to let my mind, Wander forth, leaving my body behind.
