Lying Awake....

4 days left until New York....

I can't sleep. 

So, I find a poem about sleepless nights online....

.....

Good stuff.

Sleepless Night 

By Tiziano Thomas Dossena

A sleepless night

Spent struggling 

Through the meanders of my mind

In endless explorations. 

Innumerable considerations

Scattered around

As stars in the sky

None with enough light

Of its own

But adaptable

In their interconnection

To show me the way.

The harmony of the universe 

Confined for a moment

In the boundaries of my head

Explodes in its beauty.

The thirst for knowledge

Has kneeled 

At my need of sensations. 

Bittersweet memories

Erase all the powerful thoughts

Leaving a proven soul

Sighing in an exhausted body.

The dread of the night 

Has subsided

And a sudden warmth

Has overtaken me.

While the first sunbeam

Sneaks through the window

I remember how to sleep.
