My body, she's tired, lamenting true rest But my mind, she's relentless, and offers no less Than a breif minute or two in an oblivious state Then she's racing again, as if late for a date. This battle, it seems, between flesh and thought Is implacable in taste, rigidly taut. Unyielding is this, the desire to shut down And give in to a rest that is permanently sound. "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." ~Henry David Thoreau |

Interesting poem, almost describes an Timex watch takes a licken but keeps on ticking, funny how a mind can be racing when it time for the body to rest. I understand it, I know people who have this problem. |

Anne~ You have no idea how ironic your "Sleepless in Seattle" comment was. Thanks for your comment, I can only hope. Sherry |
