The only thing I want is to sleep
Just another few hours
Because four isn't enough.
The alarm clock reads 4:02
When I get in the shower
Which wakes my body.
The lack of sleep
Stays with me
Through my cup of coffee
And onto the plane.
The pain of leaving
Mingles with tiredness,
But I can't fall back asleep
The shower and coffee take their toll

But ten minutes into the flight, the plane skims eye level with blushing clouds
And the horizon beams gold at the beauty it has created.
Then, completely without warning, a brilliant pinprick of light crests over the earth.
