Times

Times

I am lying here awake
Trying to sleep, but it keeps me from rest.
What it is I do not know - aching in my mind.

Return to this place  - time has gone past

I feel I am missing a beat of my heart 
As I lay in chains, my duvet like a rock fall 
Squeezing the breath from my lungs

To dream of flying upstairs 
To hear the tears of my cry
My voice a hollow excuse for noise
These times are mine

Close my eyes, close my eyes
Let the shore wash over me 
Let the moonlight lay cold on my bare skin,
Close my eyes and hold my sides.

These times pass me by -
Times of ages old
Times of trying to understand

I am missing a beat of my heart
I have an itch I cannot scratch.

Rest now - breath steady 
Tomorrow will reveal a path - a mirror of honesty.
I am lying here awake.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
