too much thinking for sleep.

despite my attempts to turn off my mind, its as awake as the sun. i tried to cast my cares & trust strong grace,

to still this loud heart that disrupts my mind...

(i'm losing)

so much life...the colour textures emotions realities shapes stories; these that create a felt existence threaten to overwhelm me with jumble. & hubbub & words go round n round in my head

tossing

             to & fro

like waves 

                 playing with the shore.

except if they really were waves,

I would sleep

                     sweetly

peacefully

                    to the sounds of their

crashing.
