Fires of Whispers

Sometimes the wicked, bad, naughty, evil thing I am simply works far harder at being lazy then at doing something.

Tossing and turning, searching

my bed for what is wrong.

Why can't I sleep?

My muse tingles my brain with

incessant fires of whispers;

images, words unwritten.

Without thought, without word

I know what is wrong.

Yet I toss, and I turn;

pretending to search.

I have trouble sleeping quite often but for some reason there is a least one night a week where I can absolutely forget sleeping at all. Perhaps it is my muse visiting........love this Mark.

Thanks Neva :)

I too have felt these ramblings as I try to sleep and wonder why does the muse always want to visit as I try to end my night with sleep. Such truths here and in which I can relate

[Mark]

I know right? I had some other things keeping me awake last night, but usually it's the writing wanting out that won't let me sleep! Thanks for giving me your thoughts. :)

I am really grateful that you wrote about this because I often wondered if this only happens to me. Seems it's either in the shower or when I'm trying to sleep that I get these brilliant thoughts that I beg my brain to retain till I either dry off, wake up the next morning or force myself to jump out of bed to write them down. Seems there is always something that decides to shake our slumber

[Mark]

yes! I walk in the mornings and sometimes I can hold on to the idea until I get home, sometimes I'll jot notes on my smartphone. A friend suggested I get a voice recorder, but I really don't need something else to carry around with me.
