A Sleepless Night Poem

Whispers in my ear. Writing in my sleep.


a silent night
dust motes dance
in lines of white
glistening hushes
silent light
rays send beams
a muted sight
thinking drifts
a noiseless plight
the moon is speaking
whispered bright

  3. Sorry you were sleepless, my friend, but at least you were productive! I'm not quite so creative when I'm sleepless...more like frustrated and grumpy. Your sleepless poem is beautiful!

  4. "Thinking drifts - a noiseless plight" that line captures what happens - thinking that plagues our ability to sleep well. I'm a firm believer in Bucky sleep masks. There's something about putting on my eye pads that calms my racing brain and helps me get back to sleep. Look for the $20 soft ones that come with earplugs, not the ones that look like a bra. I gave them as gifts to two colleagues who both report improved sleep.
