The Last Night of Sleep


Tonight is the last night you'll ever sleep again

The perpetual end of slumber

How long would you entertain sleep

how tight would you try to remember

tonight you say goodbye to sleep

and farewell to dreams

forever roaming wide awake 

and as productive as that seems...

How much would you miss sleep?

miss that endless nothing

how long would you stay asleep

if you knew it meant giving up something

and what of your dreams 

how much would you regret 

never again getting the chance 

to wake up and forget 

an ode to sleep!

and all the wonders that it holds

the joy of leaving consciousness

and how it never grows old

how in turning yourself off

you can awake to something new

and how when you sleep

the world waits for you.

So sleep well

in your last slumber

and try hard 

to hold something to remember

be productive

with the new active life you've met

and try not to be twisted up

by all the sleep you didn't get.
