I write short poems at times…

Lost within the darkness of the night,
Hoping and praying for a glimpse of the morning sunlight,

My body aching with pain,
Restless thoughts of worry floating through my jumbled brain,

Shadows on the walls running wild,
Old memories flashing within my mind as I tire,

Unable to rest or fall asleep,
Hoping for a reprieve from my thoughts which are so deep,

Alas the alarm clock bells sound I hear,
The light I can see, a new day, a brief respite from my fear…..
