an ode to insomnia

Night dreaming is hopeless

Put your faults to bed, darling

Don't let them hold you back

There's so much you could be seeing tonight

Layout under the full moon

Sleep through the days

Watch the constellations pass your eyes as the moon pulls the tide over your chest

Feel the canyon breeze and the midnight rain

Don't let the lightning keep you from laying on the forest floor among the wisest trees

Listen to the whispers of the meadows

Dance along the starlit streams

When you rest your head

Let the sunrise kiss you goodnight

Let the flowers wish you sweet dreams

Wake up to the sunset when your dreaming concludes

Let your eyes bring light to the darkest hours

Watch the black lake shine as it reflects the hope of the stars; spirits in the sky,

Wanderers who direct your dreams.

Swim by the sleeping cattails and lily pads

Sit in the willow tree

Swing on her branches

Watch the water by her side

See your light

Don't forget your reflection

See you

See beauty

See potential

See love

See eternity

I'll never forget the night I let myself see it-see me

I hope you see her too..

I hope you see you 

 

"Why do we measure the sky in angles when all the stars are merely brightly shining souls gone on to find peace- reflecting hope into our eyes? Look up; the sky is measured in love"
