~Solitude & Silence Have a Purpose~

        Some nights, sleep eludes me,      
         yawns approach, then leave,
           i pass the place
                of passing out,
           exhaustion brings more to grieve~
      
         ~I listen in the silence,
          my memories sing loud,
     then i recall the daylight hours,
             alone in a croud,
        sensing something's changing
          deep within my soul,
   no need anymore to be so burdened,
        God's really in control~
    
     ~So when i should be dreaming
         i wake to reality,
   i pray, & read Your word, & find
         more truth that sets me more free~

      ~As the dawn approaches,
        Your gentle voice i hear,
      whispering,"Enough for now",
        & resting finally draws near,
       I enter into Your arms,
       my beloved bridegroom,
  & surrender to Your life-changing love,
     as it fills my heart, my room~
  
      ~Sleep will be here soon~

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For years, I've been a major night owl, doing most of my healing in the wee hours of the morning, often seeing dawn's aproach before sleep finally came~
~I am now an early morning riser, most of the time~except when there is grieving, healing, opening to do~ Then, sleep escapes me, but He always sees me through~
   One of my favorite verses is ..."He gives His beloved blessings while they sleep..."
{...& even when they don't!}
