Thoughts as I try to sleep....

Sleep...

Up...Down...Up....Down

Sleep alludes me
as he slumbers beside me 
.
Up...Down...Up...Down


asleep beside me
breathing softly

Up...Down...Up...Down

I can no longer hear
the reassuring sound

In...Out...In...Out

After a moment
our breath in unison

In...Out...In...Out

Oh, to join him in slumber
 alas, I can only watch

Up...Down...Up...Down

  1. I'm with you, sister! Hate those nights when you can't sleep for love or money. Hope it gets better. :)

  2. My hubby hits the pillow and is sleeping within five-ten minutes. Not me. It is maddening.
