When sleep comes but does not stay

So she is awake

and loud

and wandering the house

Which means I need to corral her

and herd her back to her bed

in the desperate hopes

that she might

actually

fall back asleep

I read the views I don’t like.

I read the views I do like.

Neither make me happy.

Yet I can not get away from the truth

Politicians run this country

and I live here.

If I want a change I must advocate for it.

Yet I know I am hampered

and so I do the best I can

and live my life according to my values.

There is a disease that is spreading

It never goes away

It always comes back

In one form or another

Most are easy to spot

Others are subtle

Hate is the problem

and Love is only one cure

but there never seems to be enough

Empathy and an open mind

They are the best treatments around

and too many people push them away

Measures are taken

and redrawn

Things are happening quick

and then that one

single

little detail

that you hoped

would not go wrong

does

and then it is

merely catch up

trying not to fall

Time to level up.

Another year has gone by.

Lists made.

Lists ignored

or finished.

Either way

Wisdom is growing

by acknowledging

that I made mistakes.

 

The house has not burnt down

I am thankful she is unhurt

My child likes to play dangerously

I can not say I blame her

Experimenting and knowing it is wrong

Only made me want to actually see if it was true

when I was her age

The house has not burnt down

Worry

It is an anxiety that we can not control

yet we are prone to doing it anyways.

Stress

It is helpful in small doses

yet we over do it and stress ourselves out.

Intuition

Is all fine and dandy

when it is correct and helps us avoid problems.

Inspiration

Is an incredible elation of joyous energy

Until all the real work is to be done and then nothing happens.

Logic

It is a problem solvers dream

To be able to put puzzles together and finish them.

Yet it is wisdom

the common sense of the heart

that eludes us most because our brains

like to over ride the love within it.

Hearts long to see the one who delights and soothes

To be comforted and spend time relaxed and renewed.

Seasons change our scenery

and yet our vision stays the same.

It is the heart that wants the love

and the purpose of what you bring

to this world.

Desire is strong

A made up word

Blessed to be creative

Sense of right returns

Head clears as words leave mouth

Brain switches off

A nap is in order

Drunk tired needs to handled

Maybe food would be good?
