Sleeping it out

Slept it out this morning. Pressed the snooze button every 9 mins for 2 hours, now that's dedication!. So I've invested in one of them new fangled sunlight simulator clocks to that gently wakes you up. So here's my ode to the propect of a new dawn (bad pun, but what do you expect from a bad poet... er I mean verse making person).

The land of Nod

I sleep perchance to dream,
racing against the siren's scream,
that sound that rips and tears at my consciousness stream.

But now I must lay the siren to rest,
I risk it all with fear beating a drum upon my chest,
for she smiles in her sleep knowing her voice will always be best.

So what do I do now for my get up and go?
Why I do what is needed and capture the suns blazing glow,
now the dawn's light is mine for I can program it to show.

Tomorrow morning is it's biggest test yet,
will the digital sun rise, it will I bet,
but there's doubt in my heart and I still fret.

I've the slightest notion I'll miss the siren's fair call,
for failure of the dawn's bright light will cause me to fall,
for I will not wake, at all, at all, at all...

That one is brilliant - can really relate to it - so modern day. Cool. You just keep getting better and better at this
