Sleepless

The night has closed
time to die and be reborn
but when I’m beside you
length against length
embraced in your arms
even in sleep
my heart escapes me
and is running off
in happy dreams
of long weekdays
and longer weekends
happily slaving
to make ends meet
because in that circle
broken and remade
everyday of our lives
we find peace and joy
in the life we’ve made
for the love we emote
