as yesterdays hand
slips off my shoulder,
and tomorrows embrace
takes my gaping lips
in this, today
I breathe a thousand sighs
and soar a breathless wind
I’ve heaved the night
until the day broke,
and stood in the middle
of all and nothing
and now,
I exist in Milli seconds
between this word
and the next

A description...
of a sleepless night. I have had more than a few lately and you have described them perfectly! It seems that the milliseconds
of hesitancy go on forever, and I do not want to move ahead with this day. Oh, woe is me! Love and higgest bugs, ~ Geez.

Dearest Bro
It was more than a sleepless night unfortunately. Partly lack of sleep but more "something" else. I am glad you got it though. Hugs x

2-3am
I go to bed early and then l will normally wake after 5 or so hours of sleep to a silent home. I usually cruise my inner oceans and stroll about the house. Quiet time to think. I’m not given to insomnia somehow I’m able to “turn off” even in the midst of stressors.
Beautiful language as always.

I go to sleep when the sun
I go to sleep when the sun comes up qnd sleep an average of 2-4hrs with a nap thrown in sometimes when I get weary. The joy of being in constant pain.
Thanks for the comments they're always appreciated. You've a keen eye and a insightful mind.

my sleep record none can surpass
once I stood awake 72 plus hours
then simply passed away
for many hours in my younger days
today all would perhaps say
LOVEDLY PASSED away
lol don't dismay
I will still stay
even tho my sighs sway
Loved
I am sorry but I actually shattered 72hrs awake into smithereens. Not by choice. By circumstances out of my control.
I hear a poem in your comment lol hmmm maybe?
Love Sis xox

I only speak truth
since my youth
Know ye kindly
Sleepless nights
I average 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night , whether it be my dogs or anxiety. I don't even think I know what eight hours feels like anymore.
Dear Carrie
I'm about the same but my sleep is always interrupted, the longest I've slept in the last 8yrs without waking is 3yrs.
It's 2am here now. I'll laydown after the sun comes up. Sleep for an hr or two and I'm up and alert again.
Love and hugs Jayne xox
