What Crosses My Mind

  • Wide Awake

    What ifs Cross my mind laying down A night sky looms outside wide awake while the world rests comfortably around me. At least that is what insomnia does. I’ll wonder well into the night about those questions no longer needing answers. I will think about mindfulness, letting go of what I can no longer hang…

  • Ticking Clocks

    It’s 2 am a little Brubeck echoing in the silence some distant harmony making allowance for a mind unable to shut down, just quiet, listening to various clocks set their own time, ticking reminders of the seconds, tearing about the fabric of our own sanity.   There are pictures on the wall, each holding court…

  • My Personal Insomnia

    Step into my world a man frazzled yet still a remarkable breather able to stand to negotiate appreciate some aspect of life.   Not perhaps until the day for tonight, his life remains behind invisible bars that only allow him to remind, to replay, to re-evaluate and always the same thing every time no solution,…

    Forget the burden of wonder, the appalling nature of discovery, that moment when our heart rages with a fury of emotion, pulsating, your chest aroused to such a level of anxiety, one cannot recall a calm.

  • 1:38 AM

    If someone knew him they might understand perhaps they might not they could take a stand to suggest to him the hour of nigh … That’s a leap when someone else asks him to change what he created himself. Time of night lost in thought thinking about this reality, and wondering is this the insomnia…

  • Night Tease

    There are those moments we wish away when the evening light begins to fade we often haven’t got the time to remain yet our lives are on hold, we might just say the day’s preoccupations are now at bay and we will soon begin another day but ah, there is that sleep thing in the…

  • Wakeful Solace

    I am awake late, abandon, havoc in my head won’t stop reminding me how often I remain far ahead of my dreams, desires, demands. If I knew what they were I might then begin to overcome that pressing need to avoid, stray afar, give room to that uncanny ability to lay inside a nightmare. If…

  • Wired

    When inside the moment All these things don’t matter Sunlight A pale moon in august Droplets clinging A red barn City murals that speak Single lane bridges that create pause The kind where a set of headlights … – … and yet, natural earth Remains the same Vibrant in fragrance Color Texture Purpose seems in…
