Exhaustion

Crushing exhaustion
Weighs down my eyelids
My shoulders slouch
And my head droops

Yet my restless mind
Escapes my body
It drifts to a land
Between Dreams and Reality

And so I rest on ideas
On giants, on creators.
I rest on geniuses
On thinkers, on knowers

I rest on expression-
On artists, on poets
I rest on a paintbrush
On a pencil, on color, on life
