My mind can't rest with thoughts of nothingness
My eyes can't stay shut so look in the darkness
only my ears hold in the deep sounds of my heart.
Let me sleep for one night rest and the morn once more.
What has held me this late again
that I will miss the sun rise?
Who has caused my unrest,
un wanted and unending?
where will tomorrow's comfort come from
when my bones are aching sore
underneath my tightening skin?
No coffee nor tea nor fire.
Ease my mind and soul with prayers
and thoughts of man's goodwill
Bring my heart to resting beat
and sooth me with a melody sweet
So much at hand to do
and little want to handle it.
Tomorrow will come and go
but this night may go on forever
Mise le Meas Jan 27th 2011 unable to sleep
