Waiting For A Bed (Villanelle)

we all are waiting for a bed

both day and night we bide our time

a peaceful place to rest our head

 

some wait in anger, some with dread

some so comfortably sublime 

we all are waiting for a bed

 

we think about the lives we’ve lead

our brains are working overtime

a peaceful place to rest our head

 

no one can say what lies ahead

within this present paradigm

we all are waiting for a bed

 

we ponder all the things we’ve said

the mountains that we’ve had to climb

a peaceful place to rest our head

 

we think of better days instead

when we were young and in our prime

we all are waiting for a bed

a peaceful place to rest our head
