hazy slumber
hazy slumber
Her eyelashes flutter with slow grace;
With every waking effort,
She tries to resist her heavy eyelids.
Continuously stifling yawns in vain..
Falling asleep piecemeal,
Sipping caffeine to drug her blood stream as a dernier ressort.
Alas! She succumbs to a sweet hazy langour.
Her rufous locks of hair slowly curtain her fair face,
As she lays down her head to rest.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. -Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952
