Night's Ambivalence

The night is too long,

My sleep wears thin,

Tomorrow is so close,

But it seems too far to begin,

I toss and turn,

My memories intertwine,

To make a beautiful story,

That never will truly be mine,

Eyes closed,

I lay supine,

Still and quiet,

It's almost time,

I feel the heat brush upon me,

The golden sunrise,

Seeping through my window blinds,

I open my eyes,

5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

Ready or not, here it comes...
