Interrupted

As I cast off each night
Looking for sleep,
I feel my likeness
In his pale outlines,
Pull away and row
Through his dreams alone,
Freed from my mind
And it’s wakeful confines.

In his wistful smile,
Piled in dusty stacks,
Lay all the plans
I’d made and put on hold,
Aspirations withered 
Waiting for their time,
Graying dreams 
Prematurely grown old.
