Should Be Dreaming
In the middle of the night
I find myself
wide awake...
Thinking
when I should be dreaming
Unsuccessfully convincing
myself to relax
Trying to clear my mind
of unsettling thoughts
Searching for slumber
Turning to a winter scene
outside my window
The pristine snow
is calming and still
erasing restless images…

Last night was one of those nights for me, restless, my mind racing from one thing to another. Winter lingered outside, but my mind still raced. So taking a walk out in the melting snow didn't help. Would have been nice to erase those troubling images. Wonderful write. tfs

Trust nature to provide the calming influence. Nicely expressed.
