Life's a beach!
Friends are essential.
Make time for fun
And moments of perfection.

Friends at the beach

Insomnia

This is the poem I wrote a couple of months ago when Insomnia struck once again.


Insomnia

Again I suffer from the inability to sleep.
My feet ache to be busy but my body lags.
My brain is filled with flying thoughts that chase around
as if they have complete control.
I try to remember the sleep of childhood,
interrupted by a dream that hung in my head when morning dawned,
softened by the light of day.
Mid afternoon I could have closed my eyes and passed the time away
lying in my living room, with sun streaming on my face,
but life got in the way.
And now it's midnight.
Morning's only hours away.
That calm relief of sleep
eludes me.
