Awake!
Middle of the night
Pulled
From slumber
Perhaps
A strange noise
Maybe
Because I often wake
Early
To force some exercise
Before
Heading in to work
Possibly
My bladder demanded it
Anyway
It’s much too early
For how late
I went to bed
Last night
This morning
– James Dubeau
Should have
Stayed in bed
He said
Weary eyes
Refuse to stay open
Refuse to work
To keep going
Or get started
At any rate
At this point
Staying in bed
Getting more rest
Would have
Been better
Than sitting
And pushing
For something
– James Dubeau
Slept well last night
First time in weeks
That which had caused
Stress
Anxiety
Misery
Had come to an end
It was a sudden end
But not unexpected
Emotions had been caused
In those darkened days
By succumbing to simple
Thoughts
Feelings
Emotions
The removal of the cause
Coupled with acceptance
Returned sanity and sleep
– James Dubeau
