A Poet Never Sleeps

One day you will be faced with the impossible. When you become afraid, become inspired.

In Chains From Birth to Death


We are prisoners of time

Made of ticks and tocks

Bound under a crystalline face

 

Each morning we beg our master to wake us

Angry still when he does

Yet each day we fall on our knees

 

We subject ourselves to his whim

In exchange for a few minutes of sunshine

We deprive ourselves

 

This master is not of nature

For birds don’t heed his presence

Yet still we flock to him

 

Although we lament our misfortune

We’d be lost in our forward motion
