‘Never put off
What you can do today’
The old saying starts

I need to sleep

‘Tomorrow is a new day’
The optimist declares
Which in itself
Alleviates the gloom
Today

I need to sleep

I have heard those so fearful
Of what tomorrow might hold
That they resist night’s pull
Fight weariness
Cling to the last straw of today

I need to sleep

Unconscious of the moment
I am happy to let go
My muscles to relax
Dreams to sweep out the corners
Of my mind

I need to sleep

Come what may tomorrow
