Analysis of Restless Inspiration



Exhaustion so deep
Beyond counting sheep
The eyes of the poet they weep
For to sleep Is to miss
All the world that exists
Inspiration thats within his reach
So keep open your eyes
Leave rest where it lies
And embrace what the world has to teach
You'll have time left to lie
On the day that you die
And have plenty of time left to sleep
