Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Unruly Thoughts at Play

I sing my thoughts a lullaby
And beg them to be still
Unruly children full of play
They go against my will

Another game of hide and seek
Each one appears by turn
Through hours of this endless night
Like candles, my thoughts burn

I sing my thoughts a lullaby
In hopes that they will sleep
Alas, when one is drifting off
The other makes a peep

I toss and turn the hours away
My thoughts all tumble too
I sing an endless lullaby
Each thought a dream of you

Now dawn has come and touched the sky
Pink hues replace the grey
My thoughts now sing a happy song
They know that they can stay

Each thought of you renewed in strength
Now dances through my day
At night another lullaby
While thoughts of you just play

Eileen Manasian

Eve Roper May 2, 2024 at 6:47 AM Lovely poem my friend. Another lullaby for unruly kids. reminds me of my boys as they grew up, but two of them were full of mischief like their dad. They loved to tease, and me, well a very dry sense of humor didn't know how to take it. Eileen Manassian May 4, 2024 at 12:12 AM My daughter and husband are the same. How interesting! Hope all is well with you, dear. Big hugs

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 10, 2024 at 8:43 AM Dear Eileen, your poem beautifully captures the restless dance of thoughts and emotions. I loved the imagery of unruly children, and the struggle to find peace within oneself. Your ability to weave longing and peace into verses is enchanting. It's the power of love and its ability to calm even the most restless mind. - Blessings, Daniel Eileen Manassian April 10, 2024 at 11:08 PM Thank you for your visit and the kind comments. I'm an overthinker. It's hard to still my mind, but I love poetry and when I have time, I focus on that. Blessings
