Dedicated to Neha, Kalc, Suji....and esp. Deeksha.
Where the sheet is without tear,
Where the pillows are piled high,
Where sleep is guilt-free,
Where the sublime snores of slumber have not been broken up
By raucous persistent alarm clocks
Where the sweet dream of snooze land
Has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of early blurry mornings
Where tireless striving
Stretches its arms towards hibernation
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever prolonged sleep and more sleep
Into that heaven of freedom, my father,
Let me, for once, awake!
