WHILE Y'ALL WERE ASLEEP

 

While y’all were asleep, I was wide awake.

A few funny thoughts were stuck in my head.

Are oranges called oranges because they are orange?

Or is reverse the case?

Why count sheep to sleep when you could just close your eyes?

These thoughts simply roamed oblivious of time.

Why is the sky blue?

Why is water wet?

Why does existence exist?

Why does time flow?

When did the world start?

Better still, when will it end?

While you snored,

I wept?

While you dreamt,

I tossed and turned.

These questioned remained unanswered.

These questions kept being asked,

While y’all slept.

People I haven’t met kept me company.

They made me feel better,

And it helped my head.

My thoughts became fuzzy,

As my vision became hazy,

While y’all slept.

I watched from above,

Wondering what happens next.

Outro   Introduction This came from an intriguing place, I’ve been listening to CLB and was lost in thought, when the words for this piece started coming. This is going to mean something different to everyone; I just hope your Nameless thoughts can be interpreted because they are loud enough to be exclaimed.
