(This is a poem I have posted before...
but for some reason it came to mind tonight.
Hope you won't mind a re-peat !)
My Nights Are Long And Lonely
My nights are long and lonely.
So many thoughts invading.
Rendering nil and useless,
my feeble stabs at sleep.
Thoughts scuttling, to and fro,
of all the words we’ve spoken…
yet, many more left dangling-
unborn - or buried deep.
Past phrases leap and frolic.
Unanswered questions linger.
Meanings lost in limbo,
the two of us have found.
Be still!
My weary heart
is needing rest and solace.
Still, endlessly, the memories
continue swirling ‘round!
At last, sleep is descending,
so deep that dreams can‘t follow.
…And, for the moment, resting…
the puzzle - You and Me.
This welcomed rest I covet,
embrace it, seek to hold it!
For these fleeting hours,
I know that I am free.

With your new mac you will have to fool around with iPhoto and the book creation tool. You should make a coffee table book with your photos and poems. Both are very good!
ReplyDeleteThank you B13 for the very nice compliments.
ReplyDeleteI do love fooling around with my pictures and poems. Both have been a life-long hobby of mine.
...Never thought of doing anything with the poems except just writing them when they come to me! :)

Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get some good sleep very, very soon! It's so frustrating to experience this. Tylenol PM and not looking at the clock when I wake up in the middle of the night help me a lot.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
I just love this poem Junie...it's beautiful...one of your best, I think. Happy weekend sweetie...
ReplyDeleteHi MG,
ReplyDeleteLast night was better. I slept straight through - over 6 hours! :)
So maybe things are getting better.
Thanks for visiting me.
