Wicked Mischief

Stealthily and with no invitation,
Wicked Mischief rides into my night,
dismounts and strides inside. How impolite!
For rudely she intrudes - this aberration,
bearing that unholy “deprivation”
strongly brewed with venom of her spite,
and if I can, I’ll try to expedite
her speedy flight;  thus my liberation.
My desperation’s growing all the while.
Can I fight her power?  Can I flee
her whisperings unceasing that so rile
me?  Oh, precious seconds gone!  I see
light of day. Sweet sleep she did defile.
Insomnia has wrought fait accompli.

A constant conversation with Jesus is our only chance to belay the berage of incessant evil. Peace. Hate the hate. :)

A unique way of describing insomnia by gently taking the reader to your private place where sanity can drift and unravel. Emile. #7

I wish I could do something as clever and inspirational as a poem when wicked mischief, insomnia, shows up. I just stare out into the night wondering why oh why can't I sleep. I see why you can't sleep the words flying around inside your head.
