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
Tag: sleep
The Night Moves Now
The night moving now
It slides up, embracing me
A piano plays
My Writer’s Brain, Awake In The Dark
I want to sleep
I want to write
I want these two
To align in
Daylight
Another Day Ends
Another day ends
Dark blue sky fading to black
Rest’s demands winning
It’s been a king, busy day. Sleep’s call is winning with me. Time to wrap up the day and go up sleep.
A Haiku As I Listen To Music This Evening
Such tranquil music
Carrying my soul skyward
Glorious nighttime
May you might be restful and you awake rejuvenated.
A Restless Night
Dreaming I’m awake
My own mind is sadistic
Now dawn approaches
Not feeling too well rested today. Ugh!
Happy Friday, everyone.
I’m not asleep
Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway
Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…
Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.
A Good Night Haiku
Tonight’s Good Night Haiku
As the night moves on
And my wakefulness ending
Slumber’s beauty calls
Good night, my internet friends
A Goodnight Haiku
Eyelids drooping down
My weariness at day’s end
Preparing for bed
Tonight’s Hidden Moonlight
The hidden moonlight
Obscured from my view by clouds
Now to attain sleep
And now, and good night to you all.
