Sleepless

A sleepless night
Spent struggling
Through the meanders of my mind
In endless explorations.

Innumerable considerations
Scattered around
As stars in the sky
None with enough light
Of its own
But adaptable
In their interconnection
To show me the way.

The harmony of the universe
Confined for a moment
in the boundaries of my head
explodes in its beauty.

The thirst for knowledge
Has kneeled
At my need of sensations.

Bittersweet memories
Erase all the powerful thoughts
Leaving a proven soul
Sighing in an exhausted body.

The dread of the night
Has subsided
And a sudden warmth
Has overtaken me.
While the first sunbeam
Sneaks through the window
I remember how to sleep.

Hi marc,

It is a privilege to be able to put our thoughts, emotions, ideas in words in such a way!
I hope it helps you make it through the night and the days.
Each one of us in different ways has dark moments. I feel we have special guardian angels who help us in our most difficul moments and sometimes these angels take the shape of a friend, a family member, some sign from the universe that helps us go on with love in our hearts.
I am a bit far to offer you a friendly shoulder still I hope that words from my heart come to you as a friendly gesture.
