Replaced

I cozy up... the covers tight against my neck not wanting the cold to seep down further into my already shaking being somehow blinded by the fact the chill was begun deep and long ago unable to shake the icy beast... Sleep eludes me... the tired body and drooping eyes seem no match for the raging of remembered past overtaking my thoughts and tormenting my future dashing all hope of now forgotten peace... disturbing the pretence of nightly rest. Be still, my mind... create a void, let peace instead take hold of dark and captive stay long past the morning's giving light, replaced by dream's directions new toward sweet tomorrow's warm embrace pierce through the cold where calm awaits.
