Nighttime Ritual

My April 29th poem for NaPoWriMo 2012

My bed calls to me�"
I long to sleep tonight to
Wake up rested tomorrow.
And yet, there’s something
That drives me to stay up.
The florescent illumination
Driving out the dark of night
Presses activity onward.
But my eyes are tired
And my body fatigued;
Maybe I’ll lie down
For just a moment…
