Angst in the night

Worries wake me in the night
I hold onto hope like a kite
Hoping the string will not break
knowing all that is at stake
As I seek colors to find
gusts of information blow through my mind
Can my imagination overcome...
where all these worries came from?
That stole my tears and blocked my drive
to the many things for which I strive
Seeking rest, instead I write...
as the minutes tick away the night

Edward Ibeh Date: 2/6/2025 2:29:00 PM It feels eerily quiet and lonely at night, so I can relate. Writing is quite therapeutic and it makes one set worries aside. Wonderfully composed, Heidi!

David Crandall Date: 2/2/2025 2:44:00 PM It seems like worries can really come out at night. You describe it well. When rest is impossible, then the expression of writing, or reading seem to sometimes help. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 2/2/2025 3:51:00 PM True David. Yes, there are ways that can help Thank you :)
