Insomnia...
Maybe you are just
a wakeup call?
A gentle nudging
from the hand of Death,
reminding us
to use each moment
wisely.
Insomnia...
Thank you.

Interesting thought.  Hmmmmmmm.  Wonder if the nudge could come from another quarter?
Thought provoking ... and the last thing I wanted on a Friday was to contemplate my navel

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

I liked this thought.  I try to make the most of my insomnia.  Seems the body sleeps when it really needs it.

Thanks friends. My ISP tried to fall asleep right after posting this one. SERVER DOWN. HAHA.

Interloper, yes, it could be someone/something else doing the nudging.

Bridget, thanks for your reply, I agree.

Yes, Eric. A body's gotta do what a body's gotta do.

Me, being a VERY light sleeper, prefer to sleep and let insomina take HER wares elsewhere...

Neat poem though...

How very thought provoking, Kacy....
I'll have to remember that when I can't sleep.

Hm,I think its a bit of a scary thought. But well done.
I would rather sleep and dream, than lie awake looking at the ceiling alone.

Figures...the one night I go to bed before 3:AM, you write a poem about insomnia.  Loved this one, Kacy!


Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I started
Chasing after you

May love and light always shine upon you!

I'm sorry!!!!
I didn't intend to keep anyone up all night.
Insomnia can be good for you. Then again, so can sleep, deep wonderful, silky dreamy sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep. Relax, and let your mind flow over sweetly scented rainbow gentle streams, flowing so softly and quietly you almost cannot hear the fall of the water as it tumbles and flows over the edges of the gentle cliffs. Are you asleep yet?
