Clocks

I could sleep the whole day
And I wouldn't mind
I could sleep all my life
And I still wouldn't mind
Just sleep it through
This day
I would like to be still for a while
No more pain or joy
I would like not to feel for some time
Not love, not hate
Just me and the days,
the hours, the minutes and seconds
The moments and nothingness
Just me and my heart
Singing to me, in rhythms
Its own pace, my pace
Calmly repeating itself
Me and my dreams,
The thoughts and words in my head
Peacefully playing its tune
To me
I could sleep the whole day today
And the days afer this day
But I would be missing so much
So I'll take a nap
And wake up just in time
