One Minute

An ode to sleep.

By Li-Li πŸ““Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

That one minute

All quiet

Relaxation and sleep

Time to myself before I wake

That sweet, sweet minute

Makes all the difference

Just a little more sleep

Helps me through my thoughts

I can feel the sunlight flooding in

It beckons me to start the day

I hear my alarm go off

Trying to hold on to a dream

It fades away and reality steals the scene

One more minute

That sweet minute to enjoy

Finally I give in

Take a deep breath

Time to begin with the day

Until we meet again,

Thinking of you

Sweet minute of rest.
