2021/7/26 #poetry After you nap The feeling is hopefully one of refreshment, If you got the timing right. As you look around The commonplace gives pause Qualities come through Not just labels As the light hits your eye And you notice Beauty in starkness Or warmth in color. What before, the nap, was dull now has richness, a new sparkle, the same sparkle that you would have called glare What is there an hour later? How long does that feeling last? Even once it fades you can't argue that you're not better off for having had it. That nap.
