#6 - In Which Naps Are Praised

Do you nap? or do you sleep extended periods
like hours upon hours?
i prefer to take sleep lightly
a few here and a few someother time
i took a nap and woke refreshed
for i had only a minuscule 3 hours
the night before
and with a full day of teaching growing minds
i found a sleep in my step
and went to lay my head down
and did so
in a state of joy
naps are grand
even though
at its base level
sleep is a distraction
and a waste of time
its nice to know
that since we need it
i can still place in in my schedule
at my leisure
with naps
instead of regimented structure
during dark and moonlight times
a flutter of the eyelids
and a deep sigh,
shift of breath and body
a nap for the muscles
to regain some stength
cause no matter
much i desire
i'll never be a sleepless
there naps will wait for me
even as (something less drastic) than an enemy of time
i'll find some comfort in a quick and fruitful nap
to which / from which the cycle is reborn
