Good Days and Bad Nights

One of those nights again ...

 


 


This lonely hour of four o’clock


When the world seems fast asleep


The sickness overtakes me once again


Till all I want to do is sit and weep


Too weak to even read a book


To while away the lonely night


With one hand pressed against my chest


I sit in the pale screen light


I call to life the worlds new voice


To seek some needed company


But even here the screen is bare


Its lonely silence deafens me


I find the couch and count the hours


The minutes and the seconds too


Till my weary head and heart relax


Its all that I can ever do.

Heartbreaking! But so wonderful done. Seems like the nights are the best time to write...

I agree with Steven. You have written a very heartfelt poem of the body's fragile weaknesses. I sit up most nights until I am ready to sleep, or sleep just takes over, because I am actually afraid to sleep. My heart just keeps pounding like it wants to break out of my chest. But my ICD implant stops the fast arrythmia.

As Steven said tho, we are fragile in our bodies, but the wisdom is knowing that we are, and you dear brother have that wisdom. Great poem Felix, I enjoyed reading it.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Sorry if I alarmed anyone just one of my bad nights and as the sunlight glides through my window this morning I feel much better, thanks to all for the concern though.

Mariah used to look out her window and repeat "I see the moon...the moon sees me...God bless the moon and God bless me." It worked for her. Here's wishing you love and creativity to take that lonesome energy and pen a great novel or try a children's book. This will change the way you look at your insomnia as when we think of entertaining children...we smile and it becomes infectious.

okay, this does not make me happy! (not the form - it's very well-written, but the content) Is this physical? Emotional? Perhaps a work of fiction (I hope!) As I tell my daughters, buck up, little buttercup!

Very scary feelings and not a good time to feel alone, I am sure, but then there is always the question if it is to the point that we need to interrupt another's sleep to sit with us. I am sorry that you have to deal with this, Felix, but it certainly moves you to write amazing verse.
Take care,
Sherry

Shoot, mine begins at three...the muse needs to talk, and I write. Get back to that computer and get to work. ROFL

Oh Felix! I hope you're alright!

Well, it is now 3:38 a.m. here in Toronto, Canada; and once again I'm having the insomnia's attack. Hope I'll be able to sleep very soon.
