In the midst of flowing muse my mind, poet's concoction refreshed by writers I peruse but sleep is not an option. Manic mind and maniac prose my thoughts more fast than pen ravel up the night and those return, … no sleep again When muse is flowing fast and free while I'm probably a minority other works inspire me and sleep is no priority Faster thoughts and faster still they make no sense to me but countless pages quickly fill so sleep again I see… Rushing, hurtling through the night I've penned, not all my best but lines of hope and lines of might allow me now to rest Gently, slowly off to sleep to Morpheus' arms I go dream the dreams, both warm and deep inspiration for manic flow.

Now I could sleep for England, truly, but how well you write this, the manic flow that even I get. Not that it will keep me awake for long, but while it does, then the words just flow. As usual you have written something that springs the memory free. Love it, and it's really good. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I can totally relate to this...when the Muse beckons, who are we to turn a deaf ear to the call? (And everytime I have, I end up regreting the lost words...) Enjoyed muchly! =) LJ "A smile is when your inner beauty comes outside." |

Kethry, I can relate very well. There are nights that no sleep is possible until my words and my body are both on sheets. |
