Elusivity

Those sleepless nights remain.......

SLEEP

    slips nearer

connecting its spindly fingers gently within my own

             caressing my hands, feet, brows....

moving towards my mind, relaxing all body parts giving REST.....

OR THE ILLUSION OF............

SUDDENLY ~ AWAKE

sleep pulls away

urgently

elusive

Frustration

Exhaustion

Thoughts converging

SLEEP ~ My elusive Friend

Thoughts race, seeking

seeking what?

sleep

rest

peace

slipping nearer

caressing gently the tired muscles

exhausted thoughts

lovingly wrapped in the arms of blissful slumber

thoughts slow

sleep invades

rest dances

ALARM RINGS

DAY BEGINS

Thoughts of Elusive Sleep fills a tired brain awaiting ~ 

hoping for the next sweet caress

Author's Note

Written in the throes of exhaustion after only a few minutes of sleep where awakened by an alarm difficulty getting back to sleep is always there....

You share the experience so vividly, Constance. I don't often have sleepless nights, but when it happens it is just as jolting as your bold font implies....

[Constance Payne]

Thank you, it was for punch and emphasis and it appear to have worked. I have them more now than I have in the past. Between life status and age I guess it is going to be a more interesting experience. :)

The mind is ever the dance partner... teasing and twisting, turning - alluring and full of whim. And sometimes it allows us a moment of "vision"... and the time to appreciate it.

[Constance Payne]

True, I just wish my time to appreciate it would come when I have the vision. :) Usually they are miles / days apart. Thank you for reading Chris.

I liked the form and flow of the tones and could follow the movement. Large fonts get scary but worked for this one. I'm glad I paused with you.

I was a bit worried about the large font; but I was hoping for emphasis and punch on those parts. Thanks for pausing with me.
