Thoughts like pebbles cast

Folder: 
book 13

late in the night

     when I am so tired

thoughts of my bed

     and me trying to sleep

 

saying a mantra

     trying to empty my mind

trying to hold at bay

     thoughts calling to me

 

my windows closed

     cannot withhold

the thoughts that clatter against

     like pebbles cast

 

out in the dark

     beneath bright stars

pale light of moon

     casting silvery light

 

I feel a longing

     of something unknown

of a deep hunger

     that I cannot feed

 

if I should slip

     back into my clothes

go out into the night

     and into the cold

 

bright stars twinkle

     bright blues and reds

cold wind does whisper

     through blowing leaves

 

dark empty road

     arrowing into the night

perhaps going to somewhere

     that I need to find

 

cold breeze does whisper

     through my graying curls

cold chills that tremble

     shaking my soul

 

whispering voices

     carried upon the wind

rushing about me

     with words I can’t hear

 

oh that I might

     the curtains draw

closeout the thoughts

     that call unto me

 

slip into my bed

     and darkness find

closeout the thoughts

     that call unto me
