One Eye Is Closed

Jill Marie Art


"You look so tired.
Will you please lie down?"
Miles to go before I sleep
Things to do; promises to keep
Borrowed from another, the human condition
Share it and pass it around
It's necessary and happens whether you're up
Or feeling down.
Passing out now; days between proper sleep.
It's proper and it's impossible to go deep
When awake, it takes the cake and I don't
Want to give in, though one eye's long been shut.
I still have the other, tho it sees only the blurriest
Of panoramas. What to do; to say; to be?
Not a blue blue clue.

Alright - this is what I get for writing when I can't see, let alone think. Goofy crap-ola. Good antidote for pride. I'll leave it up as a reminder, though I heartily wish to remove. Sleep still elusive ~ waiting for dawn to break so I have company in addition to the cat, who is rubbing it in my face how easy it is for some to snooze on a dime. Wishes for a wonderful day to all. ;)
Maybe something in the water. I've got it, too.
Sorry to hear that. Hope we're both drinking good water again soon! Will write to you soon... items a'stackin' up. Best wishes to you always!
