Sleeplessness

-lost and can not find something too far out of reach just need a little migraine pains they creep black dog images appear dry eyes blurred vision no motivation tossing turning twisted sheets two dogs that can sleep if only I could for now I will close my eyes pretending to sleep 9-3-23

Personally, i wish God had made sleep optional, i have enough projects for 2+ lifetimes & felt so since a teen, But, like you ( w/health lifetime issues), sleep is a desired refuge! For me. Deep prayer will float me into a warmth & peace of sleep, w/ migraines tho, dont pray words; go taking God on the routes of relaxing your nerves toes up to your crown. Try…God bless you! Super haiku series!

Sorry to hear of your sleepless night, Karen. Life is harder when we don't get a good night's sleep. Good to see you back, my friend. Nice Haiku as usual. Smiles ~ Blessings from A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Those nights when sleep stays far away are really hard ones. Melatonin can help some people and certain foods can be beneficial to aid sleep. You can just ask the question on your search engine on the internet. Thanks for sharing this one and for your kind review of my work. Sara
