I try to fall asleep...
but I can't
because the door is open and
the cold breeze makes my teeth chatter
I lie awake because
the world baffles me
and my mind like a fly in honey
drags through the thoughts
of the day
Making me think.
bouncing endless pointless thoughts
off the corners of my mind.
My eyes are closed, but my mind
WILL NOT SURRENDER to the tranquil
state of sleep.
Instead, ..I think,..and arrive at no conclusions.
Stray thoughts combining with each other
trying to join......to fuse.....
Ending in a grappled mass of confusion.
My eyes are burning, because
I've been staring at the ceiling for
an hour..and didn't realize they were open.
They saw nothing but the tangled stray thoughts.
They were open, but they could not see
the reality of the ceiling.
They were blind to that and oblivious...
Somewhere else......
I CANNOT REST!, because
I reach for the warmth of your body..
and long to breathe your air!
And you're not there...
I have to wonder if you will be again..
BE CONTENT, CONTENT....
....AND FALL ASLEEP!
Lonely souls live...and tell of your affliction.
TRUST in God and goodness
....do not weep....
It's the key to lasting peace.
You will sleep well tonight and LIVE tomorrow!
And the sun will shine..
...or the rain will be refreshing! and wet....
And the cold breeze will feel good, and make you sleep..........
