It is roughly ten minutes before my usual bedtime
And in a state of overdrive has gone my mind
Despite this being not my current intention
Various project ideas are springing up in my mind, competing for attention
Some are related to work, some to creative interests
I want to explore them right now instead of trying to rest
*
When I wake up tomorrow, I am afraid
That attention to these ideas would not be paid
By me- I would be busy juggling a hundred other things
Once a new day new challenges brings
I cannot go back to the audacious dreams of the previous night
Thus those ideas go out of mind and out of sight
*
If only I could stay up late into the night
And elaborate upon my ideas that appear bright…
But sleep is essential and if I try to compromise
On the duration of sleep, I realize
That I cannot get anything worthwhile done
Therefore I sleep on my ideas and end up forgetting each one…
