I do not sleep well of late. I try, I stretch my soul to reach you; on good nights you seem just beyond the edge of touch, yet always like smoke on the wind; you slip through my thoughts and are gone. I love you. I miss you. I do not sleep well of late. ©2003 by icebox |

Hate that -- hate it! Looks like we suffer the same fate, when we suffer the same fate....and you put it to bed with elegant simplicity. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

'Tis sad - For our dreams can take us anywhere we choose. Too bad "sleep" is a mandatory prerequisite, eh??..  |

I found the solution: I work nights. I am always cranky, so I gave up on sleep and read all night.  But I am sorry you cannot sleep peacefully.  |

At least identification is part of the process... |

I had gone through a long period of this...stretching my soul and never reaching him. It has finally passed now. Perhaps it was realization that I couldn't. I hope you sleep well tonight. Patricia |

icebox... "on good nights you seem just beyond the edge of touch" This reaching aches...no wonder you don't sleep well. Yet, you continue, perhaps because you believe it's possible. I do too! |

Sleep? There's a sleep? When did that come out? Anybody got an extra one? [This message has been edited by Aenimal (07-06-2003 03:33 PM).] |

Oh I sleep all right, only because that is when I breathe the easiest...however fleeting my dreams may be. Then I wake up cranky, simply because I have to wake up and carry on. I love your way with words and all the feelings you convey. |

Kahlil ~ Glad you liked it. Thanks for telling me. Ratleader ~ *smile* "They" tell me it is the fate of old men. passing shadows ~ Well, I guess it is public now! We are NOT sleeping...well... together. *GRINNNN* Nan ~ Oh god YES! I love dreams (almost always). Enchantress ~ Glad you liked it; thanks for telling me. Midnitesun ~ Yup, I already figured that out about you. *smile* (HEY, no throwing things at me!) Sunshine ~ Well, yes, I do think understanding is better. My problem with understanding is that it never helps me to feel better. Patricia ~ I think it just does not respond well to forced thought. Although... Martie ~ Yes my friend, under all the crust, some silly part of me believes. JamesMichael ~ *laugh* It sure can make life a bitch can't it? littlewing ~ shrek? OK, but to which character do you relate? 2dalimit ~ Thanks. Thank you for reading and for yuor comment. Aenimal ~ Oh MAN! Didn't you get the memo??? You had to choose it as a factory installed option. There are NO after market parts on this, sorry, but remember: "Mother Nature Cares about YOU!" *big smile, BIG SMILE* "NEXT!" See, if this option is not in your original contract, then you really blew it on the sleep thing. Better just go long in tedious novels; maybe become an expert on Milton (the author, not Berle) I'm told even Mrs. Milton thought he was boring. *grin* gemjop ~ Sometimes my dreams are very effective magic, but I have to get to them first. Thanks for reading and for telling me. Skyfire ~ OK, well if I find an answer, you will read it here! *smile* Local Rebel ~ Yeah, exposed. Hey? Does that make me a cardiac flasher? *smile* BluesSerenade ~ Hmmm...maybe my problem is having had to sleep with one eye open for too many years? Thank you for reading my poem and for your comments. |
