I couldn’t sleep tonight
Whenever I closed my eyes
All I saw was haze and an endless alley
I couldn’t sleep tonight
Whenever I closed my eyes
I heard someone calling out my name
Where was I?
Who was it?
Why was I so restless?
What answers is my mind seeking?
I slept peacefully after long tonight
Wherever my eyes reached
There were wildflowers in full bloom
I slept peacefully after long tonight
Wherever my feet touched the ground,
There were green fields with the sounds of birds chirping and water flowing around me
I knew where I wasI
knew who I was seeking
My restlessness replaced by peace
The answers my mind was seeking were provided by nature
Coincidentally, I endured a raging bout of insomnia last night—always happens when a storm’s about to come in. When it finally does, I’m confirmed in my assumption, not that I “knew who I was seeking,” but the reason for the frustrating goings-on—nature providing the answers, indeed!
Oh dear. So sorry to hear that. Hope you are able to sleep well now. Glad my poem found you at the right time and hope it helped you feel you aren’t alone in this struggle. Take care and thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
