it’s Monday, the lamp is burning
the window is half open, more light
it’s morning, I had a sleepless night
the early birds are already singing
it’s Monday, I drag my mind awake
the startled neurons beg for sleep
it’s morning, I have promises to keep
the beckoning night of dream is fake
it’s Monday, I’ve to convince this body
the hours need not be wasted ahead
it’s morning, and gloomy, and cloudy
the spirit is willing, but I’m still in bed
“But I have promises to keep, / And miles to go before I sleep, / And miles to go before I sleep.”
-Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
“Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
-Mark 14:38, The Holy Bible NLT
