Sleepless Angel
Night is coming, so many hours till dawn
The dark time is ruled by restlessness
It’s unruly reared head will not bow
Praying, God, some rest, and now,
with the closing of my eyes, at last,
...dismissing the scenes of the day
Slumber now, for I have done my best
Pray for dreamless sleep, much needed rest
Who knows what will come on the ‘morrow,
to blend my happiness with my sorrow,
a semblance of life, to temper the dying,
...testing the silence with its screams
Awake not, sleep on, these many years past
Tis only a remembered nightmare opera,
heard only by me, alone, in my mind,
a memory imprinted as on an old record
and always playing nightly, for me alone,
...the young voices still calling...
..........CORPSMAN UP!
