The Dream of Sleep

The heavy heat of the noon
That dulls but doesn’t allow ease
Is borne only in the hope that soon
Evening will visit with breezy gifts
But when that doesn’t happen, when there’s still no respite
Wait for dreamless sleep to put its gentle hand across you,  just as you   like.

What i meant to ask was - Is there no middle ground, between hope and waiting?
