Goodnight

Inspired by 'the tension of opposites' idea from Tuesdays with Morrie. Interpreted lightly.

I want to feel the hug of a warm sweater and the friendship between a pen and paper

Then to bask in the silliness of no pants and wool socks

But I think I will wait and see if sleep washes over me

I can let it in

I have the techniques

I know the steps

Words of affirmation

Deep breaths

Concentrate on each breath

Feel the waves

Breath the waves

Be the wave

You are smarter than you think

You are stronger than you know

You are smarter then you think

You are stronger then you know

SHUFFLING Next to me.

Bright light

Blue light

Heart speeds up

Glare lingers.

The sea is gone, sleep is gone.

I want to put on a warm sweater and write.

There. The words are home now

And don't they look pretty

well written.. the message was hard to convey at the lines 'Once removed
Twice removed
Further
Further still
Still' when I first read it, that may just be me though.. I liked the word use and the starting 3 lines are relatable & my favorite :).
