insomnia

the full moon pulls me as she pulls the ocean
sending tremors through my body

fractured memories become prayers
murmuring in my mind until a misty dawn

takes mercy upon me shoring me up
for tonight when again i become a silent spirit

dipped in uneasy holiness...

  5. oui...sometimes a bit of terror tries to seep
    in but that feeling must be halted with
    positive affirmations & sometimes i just get
    out of bed and read something light with
    a half a cup of tea or hot chocolate.
    a gentle hug for you amity.
