Approaching 5am

by Jeffrey Parren

It approaches 5am
again
as the sun creeps out
the night
begins to fade
as a blue hazy sky
takes its place
slowly.

The earlier I work
seems to propel me
to get less sleep.

The fact that
I am going to lose
the next 15 hours
or so
to work
makes me stay up

fighting
the heavy eyelids
and body so sore.

The calmness
of this serenity
as the chirping birds wake
is well worth the lost sleep
until perhaps
tomorrow night after work
when I crash into bed
and miss this peace.
