Wide-Awake Ache ~*Marge Tindal*~ I know the ache of wide-awake while all around me slumber deep Turn of undone thoughts in toss keeps me sleepless … at a total loss~ A total loss of comprehend of when these sleepless nights might end Need the time when slumber wraps me tight holding me through dark of night~ Dark of night I beg you please send me forty winks of slumbered ease Just enough to tempt me to awaken refreshed when the winks are through~ The winks are through … never enough no surprise the mornings are rough I know the ache of wide-awake while all around me slumber deep~ ~*~ *A restless mind is like an unmade bed ... in need of remaking* ~Insomniac thoughts ... from my Landscapes Of The Night series~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Marge/sis "I know the ache of wide-awake while all around me slumber deep Turn of undone thoughts in toss keeps me sleepless … at a total loss~" I sure do know this place of pacing, laying down and wide awake. I hope you have a peacefilled sleep tonight...and good dreams too!  |

Dear Marge, As I read your words, they represent what I have been feeling lately as I embark on another of life's transitions. Sleepless nights and wide awake with my thoughts! Love, Patricia 'When you find a dream within your heart, don't ever let it go. |

Margie girl darling one this is superb, it shows the toss of thoughts in the dark of night when YOU are awake but all around you are sleeping, and sleeping peacefully. I've definitely been there a time or two. Absolutely superb writing and exquisitely presented, love it utterly, utterly utterly and forever Mushy   xx xx xx Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

There aren't many advantages to living all alone... but at least I don't have to watch someone sleeping soundly when I can't. *S* On the other hand... I don't have the option of having company for my waking. *blonde mind going down very naughty paths* LOL However frustrating your insomnia is... it's gifting you with some lovely writes! *S* |

Been here before. You have the ability to take something that is aggravating, add your words & it becomes beautiful. |

Just a little glass of wine sometime Marge and you'll drift for quite a long time. Love the rhyme scheme it flows so well. Eric |
