Thoughts before sleeping

The moments before sleep A bit scritchy scratchy on the eyelids Whilst I wonder whether I should have said or done something differently today There's no way of knowing I have that feeling if I just stay awake I'll know more But I've tried it and just discover how to wake up bad tempered So I'll leave today here, it wasn't without merit I said I love you to those that mean the most I'm sure of that

Good advice, DD. We don't need to look for the errors in each day, the important ones, the ones we can learn from, will remind as at an appropriate time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Bill

Love this because it is raw and honest...your truth. Always thinking outside the box even if it is sleepy thoughts! Well done.

Your poetry always seems to capture secret truths, line 5 is genius, so profound, well written.

Perhaps, but it did have a spelling error haha - hope it's still genius! Isn't poetry supposed to be all about truths - secret or expressed? I like to try and unfold things that are mysteries to me, a bit like clearing a barrier to realisation.

A great practice is to release all energies of foreign origin and reclaim our scattered energies back to our fold, dissolving both in the womb of space, pulsating with God’s boundless love and light.

If I ever read good advice anywhere it's this! Some of my own scattered energy needs dissolving - I had a bee in my bonnet yesterday - I'll release the bee and dissolve the bonnet only :) that way I won't keep getting bee's in there! Thank you for such a wonderful comment :)
