"SLEEP ELUDES ME"
Sleep eludes me
Now - in the deepest part of night
Thoughts are flashing
Though I try with all my might
To tuck them in for good
And close the curtains of my sight
Sleep evades me
In this solitude of midnight
Where emotions fly about
Sparking thoughts like brilliant light
And my brain just cannot close
No shuttered mind this night
Sleep escapes me
In the silence of this night
But God is here
Gently whispering goodnight
Speaking in the stillness
Saying everything's alright

I certainly can relate to the brain not closing down "for business" at night. I try and tell myself, "I am not open all night."
Peaceful voice of God is always welcomed to silence our busy anxious thoughts!
Thank you PG for such a timely poem! Blessings dear one!
I wondered whither thou goest?
Love the photo, love the poem!
Thanks, and Love,
Me
this feels like a prayer. beautiful!
This is a great way to view it when I lose sleep, due to changes in my physical nature I don't sleep as much as I like too, so find myself up and praying in the middle of the night, thank you for the most beautiful reminder of who is with me.

We are thinking similarly today. Some times sleep eludes me too and my mind goes round and round. Time then for the serenity prayer.
That made me sigh, and there is a biblical verse that says we speak to god in groans and sighs... so poetry creates a language beyond my understanding to communicate between my heart and Gods...
Thanks!
Oh my, I so identify with this, sometimes I wish I could just put my brain in a jar for the night. Kinda like some people do their teeth. With my luck I'd put my teeth in my head and my brain in my mouth. But wait, it probably won't fit with my foot.
