Sleep

Sleep comes but once per day,
Then takes its leave, leaving you to wander
and wonder what your wanderings during the night
had been. Why you are still
Head on pillow,
Body under blankets,
Bladder almost full,
Stomach almost empty?
The brain and body waken...

Or do they
Fall back into the sleep where they are constrained to
Think certain ways,
Act certain ways,
Obey certain laws,
Breath the air,
Consume the food,
Rid one's self of waste,
Rest the head,
Go to bed?

The body falls into predictable rhythms
And the mind falls into the same trappings, singing:
"Stay thy hand, for this is not how we should behave."
Sleep comes but once per day.
What would you dream?
