acorns
echoes of the universe
upon my palm
Good night, every one! May you all find rest and restoration this night
Tag: sleep
Good Night!
I wish you goodnight
With darkness descending here
The stars keep shining
This Fitful Night
Looking skyward
While dawn approaches
Waiting for this fitful night
To finally end
An Early Morning Poem
It is morning, I guess,
Bringing me wakefulness
Vigorously unwanted
Far too recently did I dive in
Seeking eight hours of rest
Obscenely cut short
By my restless mind
Nighttime Dominates: An Evening Haiku
Nighttime dominates
Sleep continues its demands
I cannot resist
Sleep’s Grace
My soul resisting
This awakening, needed
Longing for sleep’s grace
This Night: A Haiku
As I now lay here
The night’s silence calming me
My brain is active
An evening haiku
This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest
My mind fights me
Awake
Not my desired state
Yet here I am
Fighting my own mind
What do I gain
When I win?
Awake Too Early
My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul
