The Dark of Night
Surrounded by the dark
I lie in my bed,
in the dark of night.
The morning I dread,
then I must rise and fight.
The darkness it hides me,
from what is to come.
For in the daylight I see
all the things I must get done.
Responsibilities consume my life.
They devour all my time.
In the dark I find no strife,
only dreams that soothe my mind.
It is the light of day
that demand my work and toil
but when in the dark I lay
I avoid such silly turmoil
So until the sunrise
when I must resume my quest,
for now there is no compromise
it is time for peace and rest.
