mother nature

Mother nature

 

The longer I stay awake

The more that I think

The more that I think the more that I need sleep

And foolishness becomes the wine that I drink

 

The only person that stops me

From sleeping is myself

I searched for my enemy

But in my mirror, I’m the only one left

 

This lack of sleep has robbed me of my foolishness

And my right mind

All that I have to do is lay down

And let Mother Nature control time

 

Why do I bathe in the furnace

When I have control of the fire

Why do I pretend to keep trying

When I no longer have the desire

 

Sleep would relax my body

But I need prayer to relax my mind

I need rest for the heart and soul

Rest that can only come in time
