Ode to rest

before tomorrow launches her kite
she should know yesterday’s plight
and learn from today’s fight
so when she comes at night
she comes as a worthy knight
one who will perform the rite
to make things right.
I may not have to write
for I’ll be cured of my fright
her eyes shall be the twilight
her presence, a worthy sight
my cracks, she’ll help to unite,
I’ll be assured of white light.
tomorrow will be the highlight
and everything will be alright.
