Awake with a start
from a snooze on the sofa
It’s witching hour and my mind spins
a sudden remembrance
of work left unfinished
Quick! press the button
to arouse the technology
place it back on my lap
where it spends so much time
numbers and letters spin off fingertips
living up to the expectations
piled on my shoulders
Now the window to the world is reopened
It calls to me
begging to show it’s addictive images
to let me speak
to those who would understand

Thank you Elyn, Fingers crossed I’ll manage to get some sleep later but now I’m awake again the internal fight against bed time begins again! lol I hope you’re ok xox

Sending you sleepy thoughts..I have the most awful headache that is keeping me up so I hope we both find slumber soon. xxx

Oh no! I hope your head calms down soon, so frustrating being kept awake by a headache
I’m sat watching crap tv to try and help me nod off, craving chocolate though really wish I had some in the house! xoxox

Sorry for your startle, it’s never good to wake as such. I hope your heart settles, your mind eases and you. Find peace in you morning.
Always,B

It’s starting to ease now, I think once my cup of tea is finished I’ll try going back to sleep…it’s 3am so I’ve got lots of night time left to spend in my bed dreaming nice dreams if I can find them
