~Restless Night~
Colors drained from the day first
then blackness ate from the edges
to the enter
shutting down my vision
but not my thoughts
Restlessly tossing
letting my mind pull me
into the surreal
then wandering lost
through slippery landscapes
made entirely of illusions
The sun began pushing
the night from the sky
and my thoughts kept chasing around
in smaller and smaller circles
seeking answers
that fit like a faithful
denim shadow
Hearing from the wind
ghostly exhalations
shadows escaping
and blending into dawn
Answers appear and vanish
only to reappear
covering the illusions
believed to be truths
with clarity

A wonderful dream display in the deepest apportions of a burdened soul...coming to light!
A night like this requires a good night sleep!
Love and Peace~

Oh, the restless night pulling at us, making us yearn for the light of day. I can relate.

excellent poem in all aspects, Carole ...
The subjects dealt through the lines of "Restless Night" made this composition a philosophic-poetic bouquet scented with esence of wisdom... "Restless Night" did impress me for its rhythm, poemization and contents.
I salute You, Poet.
In gratitude and reverent admiration,
