An Analogy

An analogy of Sleep and Death 
   Written on the 20th of March 2015
        By Naye Joseph Jeremiah
 
 Sleep is rest while
 Death is rest also
 Sleep a temporal cessation of work
 Death a permanent cessation of life

 Sleep brings refreshing
 Death causes reflections
 Awakened after Sleep to continue
 Awakened after Death into eternity

 Sleep is natural while
 Death is super-natural
 Sleep is the desire of the tired
 Death the desire  of the aged and tired

 Sleep is a state of temporal death
 Death is a state of permanent sleep
 After a hard day's of work rest is required
 After a hard long life Death is desired

 Death is a jolt to preeminence
 Sleep and Death translate to a World
 In Sleep visions and dreams are received
 In Death visions and dreams are terminated
 
 Of necessity  I must do the works I was 
  born to work,
 So that my Sleep will be sweet 
  Before death comes calling 
 I would have finished my assignment
