and though i both tire and despair
i am back where i began
with less determination
less hope
sleep will elude me
as it does
but hopefully for only a short while longer
and so i dedicate this time to you
to us
to freedom from the future
and at this juncture
where there is nothing left but tomorrow
i join with you
in quiet celebration
of yesterday

But you didn't leave it blank. I am incapable of having no title. It pains me.
As for the poem, sleep eludes me far too often.
I hope you sleep tonight. I hope we both do. Sweet dreams, love.
alll our yesterdays led to tomorrow...celebrate away. and who needs sleep anyway?
I crave a good nights sleep. It always eludes me. Maybe one day... because as you say, there is nothing left but tomorrow.
Love this!
I tire and despair too. Good GOD, I need to get some sleep tonight! Since I returned to work, after a two-week break, I can't enforce my own go-to-bed rule. I'm like a 12-y-o kid, afraid to miss out on anything, only NOTHING is going on worth staying up for.
I celebrate the yesterday when I could sleep, and aspire to the blissful freedom of sleep tomorrow. Probably not what you meant, but that's how your words spoke to me.
wow.
the marriage.
Beautifully written
I dig it.
This is not a drive-by. Mind if I check my coat? Thanks! *clicks "Follow" button.
Be be better soon? Hope so. I, too, am like rust: I never sleep.
P.S. How curious! The word verification is "alike"!
secret agent - i try. doesnt always work.
diane - i did. not as much as i'd have like to. but i hope to get some more tonight.
mr miller - i do. i do, very much.
beth - thank you. i'm thinking about popping a pill. thinking. but thats very notsogood.
fragrant - i should just cut and paste your message. but thats not nice. so i'll just say "ditto"
lol - dammit! stop taking all the space. other people have things to say too.
noelle - beautiful. though who knows if i'm reading it right.
marla - thank you. (give em hell!)
petra - thank you.
sparkly one - all aboard! thank you. but i need sleep. and word verifications are the hand of the internet gods. they know.
Not sleeping is the pits. Hope you are better now.
There's a lot of pressure behind a good title. Unless you just come up with one of those perfect ones.
A poet...awesome. I am too. Someday I will post some of them too.
This is a great bit of writing; one of your best. Maybe not sleeping is good for your poetry(?).
When I can't sleep, I contemplate all the things I would love to do if only I had the monetary freedom and then I fall asleep. Works for me.
Sleep is overrated!
j cosmo - some days are better than others. thank you.
mon capitan - you dont seem to have that problem...
debralee - thank you. no time like the present.
ib - thank you. high praise indeed. but i would rather the sleep. i'd shut the rest of it off in exchange for feeling normal.
goddess - all sorts of things going through my head. mostly nonsense. i just wanna sleep.
eternally distracted - only for those that get enough of it.
i wish i was lucky enuff to have that liberty...of staying up when I am not sleepy anyway......
some lives are ruled...you know...and i miss the freedom of being just "myself"
your words forced me to rethink my life.....thanks!!
