I Can't Sleep Waiting
Too little sleep for so long
is certainly not something wrong
when the reasons are good
and I behave as wisdom would.
Work and toil are many hours
but so too are my acting powers
when driven by quality forces,
love being one of the sources.
I feel strong and energetic,
yet pushing is not synthetic...
I want what I want, no delay
will be caused by me today.
Every moment of relaxation
returns the novel sensation
of being close to my love
as if helped from above
with awareness in a link
that we know in our wink
how happy we are together.
Thoughts don't weigh a feather
yet this drives me forward,
mindfulness moving toward
an all-encompassing relation.
No sleep should dull anticipation
and yet I am keenly aware
it's become my emotional fare.
My patience even does not wait
it accepts the imminent fate
that love is the very strongest.
Perhaps the best I await longest.
