awake

awake.
still awake because i rise at the dawn of the melancholy twilight--
some solitude and concentration discovered here at this late hour.

shall i fight the urge to stay awake?
shall i fight the need to fall asleep?

a comfortable bed; another restless night.
when i awake i am still with you.
oh, that asleep i may rest in peace,
that waking hours release me for patience and expectation.
