Still blues steel

             Here I lay in the darkness of the early morning.
Prayers are said and still the need to be wide awake
stand clear here.

            Oh the want of sleep and yet none is to be found.
Where, when can I hold it? I dream of it with my
eyes wide open.

            Clearly there must be a reason as to why no
sleep invades this morning routine.

            The want to attend a good amount of service
later today is being pushed aside. I don't know how
to say no to Jehovah. I hope I am able to get some
mometary amounts of zzz's.

             Hmm a laugh echoes inside my mind as I
lay here pondering all the different ways and
reasons why I am wide awake.

             Alas I will just laugh at the irony of my
baby blues rocking the silverish tones of the moonlight
sprawled across my room.

            A softness enters and a small bit of joy
surges throughout my soul. My spirit jumps in a
simple vibrance of love.

            Shh say you love me, say you want me to
fall asleep. Shh watch as my breath becomes even
as I blink back the closures.

          Hmm good night finally, my sibling. Sleep
well and enjoy your happiness and relaxation.
