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!
"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.
At least your sleepless night led to a beautiful poem. May you have sweet slumbers tonight.
ReplyDeleteWonderful whispery images....may they lull you to sleep tonight.

ReplyDeleteIf that came to you in your sleep, I can't imagine what comes to you when you're awake!! ha ha ha - absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous word choice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night time imagery here. I feel like it could be illustrated like a little board book. Love little poem.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, your imagery is lovely. I am always amazed what times between sleep and wake bring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It's good you listened to the whispers on a sleepless night.
ReplyDeleteWow, Betsy. I'm sorry you couldn't sleep, but how wonderful that you created something so gorgeous with your words!
