ON AWAKENING ONE MORNING
|
I think I could lie and sleep forever, Forsake the world and its light of day, And enter upon the darkness of an eternal night; Let the sounds of wakefulness at last disappear Till only silence remains; And consciousness gone and thought passed away, Fall into the abyss of a deepening sleep... Until sleep becomes as death; Existence extinguished, all life put out, Become the nothingness from which all things arose And to which everything must pass: To awake no more to see The glaring light of another day. |
