A statement finished

There are times my mind is on a rampage about so many pieces of information that I am incapable of settling in for the night. A tragic moment only to pull the pain of aching joints and muscles far from thought.

Truly as much as my thoughts just roll on and on I am surprised I get any sleep at all. Yet I know some part of me must get some slumber so the soul can function.

Only though the shut down of loud captions inside my brain takes a bit longer tonight.  I just know closing then opening is rough but even more so these days.

Yet I don't complain because I get a good check to put toward the adventure coming my way soon. Alas the mind decides to downsize the browsers one by one. Soon only three or four are exclaiming all senses. 

And as I lean into the warm blankets I pray for a small measure of comfort. Only to find myself drifting more and more. 

Now long pauses happen and slow, even breaths are taken. Now the mind says to be grateful of this wondrous excitement and just go to sleep.

And I do. 

Finally .
