whispers

do you get those times where everything in life seems to pile up on each other to the point where what should be the most restful, most satisfying time [that point where your pillow meets your head] turns into to something you dread and more than anything you just want to go to sleep and let it all be far away, but it won't let you sleep until you get so tired from trying not to think that you don't notice your brain has slowed and your eyes have closed?

it's been like that for me lately...

whispers

there's a gentle breeze

blowing though the grass

brushing our legs just

below the knees and it's

whispering to all the little

babies "hush now it is time

to sleep"

but not in my ears no

in mine it is a howling

wind driving waves and

with each gust it rains

it rains

i'd be better

if i were indoors but

all the doors look like they're

closed and the lights are

already switched off and

nobody answers when i

knock
