Are You Sleeping? – 22nd October 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

Give your hopelessness a name

– Hibernate your dreams away –

The darkened cave cannot tame

Pretensions that will remain



Sleep through the alarm again

– Here’s a quiet hollow to stay –

Nurture that you can’t explain

What could I say but my name?

Inspired and mostly re-arranged words from this post at Tiny Hearts

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

It’s Easy To Get Better But Better At What?

Self-improvement is a noble pursuit
Though vanity can corrupt the process
Getting better at stuff will dilute
The better person you wish to express

    1. As I get older and time is ‘running out’ the desire to sleep is annoying. It is so nice and compelling but I know in the future there’s a fucking looooooong sleep coming and I don’t want to waste any more time!

      Anyways, thanks Charlie 🙏

      1. We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

        Agree. Sleep is annoying but eventually we all need it to nourish our minds the next day.

        And you are welcome my friend. :)
