time to sleep

open your eyes
the tears, the
cries, tears in
the fabric of
space/time emot-
ionally exhaust-
ive.

time to wake
open your eyes
the time it takes
to say the name is
the time it takes to
chase it away.

ponder.
listen.

time for some to weep
as the sheep step up,
step away, show the
way.

weigh
the choices
care-
fully.
