Why Should I Get Out Of Bed?

Daily struggle.

Life

Is only what it seems.

Smiles,

Remnants of a dream.

 

Fingertips brush the edge of

The sun.

Over time the ribbon has come

Undone.

 

Outside, sunshine

Feels like rain.

My arrow like

A weather vane.

 

And if I wake

And I’m not dead

Why should I

Get out of bed?

Thank you for reading. I'm glad you liked it. It's darn cold in Ottawa. Bed is the only place I want to be.
