Puzzling, really

whole night I passed
dreaming a new
dawn

when it appeared
so foggy so dark
tried to sleep
again

if sleep is so desired
why live all such gem
by the sea of time
what doing with such rhyme

night passed away
as night passed
night comes again
as it comes

simply we the puppets
sometimes beggar
sometimes king
dream sometimes high
extinguishing sometimes dream....

Sleep, aye, we love it too well, to our demise, methinks. Beautifully thought-provoking with excellent imagery and very interesting tribute. The beauty of this is the reminder, to my present understanding, that now is spiritually night, dreaming and sleeping all too enticing, to our detriment. Lovely discussion of the paradox. Hmm. Intriguing, as yet the entirety of its meaning eludes me.
