The Need For Sleep Poem by RIC BASTASA

What we watch pushes us
to leap
some to death but i prefer
faith,

a leap of faith as soren calls it

what i watch i soon conceive
and deliver birth to baby
ideas

birth, rebirths, lovely
blooms of roses and

thorns but these are just
but hazards to
growth



what i watch pushes me to write
what i love what i feel with disgust

i keep these eyes wide open throughout the darkness of my life
gazing

i am not looking for answers anymore
i am just trying to enjoy the view
savor

what lesson can i take
back into my sleep
