Morning Came

Morning Came

Darkness yielded herself to the light
And the morning came
Cozy blankets which had been
Lovingly tucked around sleepers
Have shifted in the night
And now that morning has come
They are no longer needed
Blankets, sheets, comforters
Are now tossed aside as sleepers wake
And greet the day
The sleepers no longer need to be tucked
And swaddled
And wrapped
Because morning came and brought with her
a new day
For the ones who slept
Sleepers...
swaddled
tucked
safe
But for the sleepless ones
Darkness has yielded herself to the light
And the morning has come again
But there is no way to greet the day
Because though we were tucked
Sleep never came
And it's still the day before yesterday.
