Last Night

I didn’t sleep much last night
my mind kept wandering as
it sometimes does

drifting in and out of dreams
to places I’ve been and some
not yet seen

the streetlight seems to be
brighter and I curse the light
and pray for sleep

  7. Your quadrille resonates with me, Truedessa, very little sleep and a wandering mind are so familiar.

  8. The drifting without true rest is the worst.

  10. I use a dark eye mask. Light disturbs me terribly when I sleep.

  12. Wishing you the perfect, dreamless sleep this night ... September 9th ... and the same for every night. A lovely quadrille.
