[ True Solace Could Be Everywhere ]
[ Sometimes True Solace Cannot Be Found Anywhere ]
[ True Solace Needs To Be Discovered ]
[ & Uncovered ]
[ Society Has Told Most Of The People That They Are Sheep ]
[ The Rest Of Society Is Told To Not Make A Peep ]
[ When They Are In A Deep ]
[ Sleep ]
[ But When They Wake ]
[ What Is Their Mistake? ]
[ Do They Look Where They Are Not Supposed To? ]
[ Some People Are Doing ]
[ What They Are Not Supposed To Do ]
[ Some Sheep Go Looking For Trouble ]
[ All Of Their Lives ]
[ They Were Raised In A Safe Bubble ]
[ But Now, Trouble Can Be The The Big Bad Wolf Who Wears
Disguieses ]
[ That Doesn’t Make The Sheep The Wisest ]

(716)▪︎[ What Is Your Point? … 8•21•2020 ]
[ Sometimes It Doesn’t Matter Where You Come From ]
[ It Matters What You Are Made Of ]
[ & The Only Thing In Life That Does Not Make You
Feel Numb ]
[ Is When Someone Special Shows You Lots Of Love ]
[ Sometimes It Doesn’t Matter What Is In Your Past ]
[ But It Does Matter How Fast ]
[ You Are Creating Good Memories That Will Last ]
[ Your Past Experiences Has Molded You Into Who &
What You Are Today ]
[ It Doesn’t Always Matter What You Say ]
[ But It Does Matter How You Show Things In Your Own
Special Way ]
[ Shock People When They Think That When You Should Turn
Left You Turn Right ]
[ You May Not Have Got Your Point Across With What Said ]
[ It Is What You Write ]
[ That Gets Your Point Stuck Into Their Head ]

(1149)▪︎[ A Deep Sleep … 9•11•2019 ]
[ Have You Ever Had One Of Those Days Where You Just
Want To Go Back To Sleep? ]
[ Not A Nap ]
[ But One Where You’re Under Really Deep ]
[ It Is Like You’re On The Sleep Elevator Where The
Level Of Deep Goes Up As The Elevator Goes
Down ]
[ You Go To The Level Where There’s No Sound ]
[ You Pass The Level Where You Dream ]
[ Go Past The Nightmares That Make You Scream ]
[ Head Towards The Darkness Where There’s No Light ]
[ Your Hearing Is Amazing ]
[ Compensating, Because You Have No More Sight ]
[ It’s Not Like You’re Totally Blind ]
[ It’s So Dark ]
[ You See With Your Mind ]
[ You Thought You Heard A Bark ]
[ So You Check Your Behind ]
[ There’s Nothing There ]
[ Except Cold Air ]
[ Don’t Be Scared Of The Dark Because There Is
Nothing To Be Afraid Of ]
[ The Last Light You Had Was From Way Up Above ]
[ You Shiver & The Cold Goes Down To The Bone ]
[ Do You Try To Anticipate The Not Yet Known? ]
[ Where You Can’t Anticipate What Goes On Here ]
[ Because What Goes On Is Never Clear ]
[ You Come To A Room & You Find A Corner Where You
Can Sit ]
[ When You Lose Your Sight Do You Just Want To
Quit? ]
[ You Have To Be Confident That You’ll Get Your Sight
Back ]
[ So Don’t Worry, If All You Can See Is Black ]

(843)▪︎[ No Sleep … 10•4•2021 ]
[ Everytime That You Go To Bed, Is It Always You -vs-
The Night? ]
[ Is Getting To Sleep Always A Fight? ]
[ When You Close Your Eyes, All You See Is Dark ]
[ The Difference Is Stark ]
[ Dreams Don’t Start ]
[ You Hear The Beats Of Your Heart ]
[ You Open Your Eyes ]
[ & Only (3) Minutes Has Ticked By ]
[ You Can’t Even Count Sheep ]
[ To Get To Sleep ]
[ That Just Doesn’t Work For You ]
[ If It Does Work ]
[ Than For Who? ]
[ You Take The Most Potent Sleep Medication There Is ]
[ It Is Right There, On The Top Of The List ]
[ After Drinking It, You Just Sit There & Wait ]
[ & Wait & Wait & Wait ]
[ You See That It Is Getting Late ]
[ So Much Time Goes By, It Becomes Early The Next Day ]
[ But You Keep Waiting To Drift Away ]
[ Then You Become A Prisoner To Your Medication ]
[ It Changes Your Thinking ]
[ Your Equilibrium Goes On Vacation ]
[ It Is A Very Potent, Mind Changing Drug ]
[ It Is Not A Warm Hug ]
[ It Tastes So Salty You Just Want To Drink It Really Fast ]
[ But The Taste Still Lasts ]
[ It Is Like Pouring ½ A Salt Shaker On Your Tongue ]
[ You Don’t Even Do That When You’re Young ]
[ The Minutes Just Drag On ]
[ ½ The Night Is Gone ]
[ Must You Hold Your Breath? ]
[ To Get Some Rest? ]

(1121)▪︎[ Falling Asleep To The Sound Of The Rain … 12•17•2020 ]
[ I Love Falling Asleep To The Distinct Sound Of The Rain ]
[ Especially After Having A Day ]
[ When My Whole Body Was Wracked With Pain ]
[ There Was A Serious Competition @ An All Day Get-
Together Between Three Body Parts ]
[ To See Which One One Hurts The Most ]
[ Thankfully It Was Not My Heart ]
[ That Played The Gracious Host ]
[ Since I Just Had Surgery On My Left Foot, I
Would Say That Would Be The Front Runner ]
[ If My Lower Back Put In A Bid To Play ]
[ That Would Just Make The Whole Scenario Even Funnier ]
[ But Pain Is Never Something To Laugh @ ]
[ Just Like Having The Thought Of Eating A ( KIT KAT ) ]
[ Would Instantly Cause You To Become Fat ]
[ The Sound Of The Rain Coming Down Is Soothing Like The
Sound Of The Ocean Waves Breaking ]
[ & The Sight In My Mind ]
[ Is So Breathtaking ]
[ Since I Am Not Actually There ]
[ I Can Just Sit & Wonder ]
[ How It Would Feel When The Cool Breeze Of The Air ]
[ Running Through My Hair ]
[ But I Will Eventually ]
[ See ]
[ The Need ]
[ To Get & Go Back To Reality ]

(455)▪︎[ Sleep Is Way Overrated … 5•5•2020 ]
[ In The Morning Light ]
[ I Get Up ]
[ & Shake Off Another Sleepless Night ]
[ Now, How Many Is That In A Row? ]
[ 3 Or 4? ]
[ I Just Don’t Remember Or Know ]
[ It Seems That When I Look Down @ The Floor ]
[ Everything Is Moving So Slow ]
[ @ Night, It’s The Clock ]
[ It Seems Like Every 45 Minutes ]
[ I’d Feel The Need To Stand-Up & Take A Walk ]
[ Sometimes I’d See How Many Laps I Can Do In Our Small House ]
[ When I Look @ The Bed ]
[ I Envy My Sleeping Spouse ]
[ I Don’t Like To Think Where I’d Be In My Life ]
[ Right Now ]
[ Without My Son & Wife ]
[ I Actually Don’t Remember Or Yearn For A Day When I Was
Single & Alone ]
[ I Lived In Apartments ]
[ Not A Home ]
[ But Like The Saying Goes { HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR HAT } ]
[ I Can Really ]
[ Relate To That ]
[ I Think This Time I Did 4 Laps ]
[ Before I Stopped ]
[ I Opened The Door To My Room & Looked @ All Of My Hats ]
[ Then I Go & Stand By Our Bed & Climb Up On It ]
[ & Just Sit ]
[ When I Look @ My Pillow I Mumble { WHAT’s THE USE? } ]
[ Trying To Go To Sleep ]
[ Just Feels Like Abuse ]
[ Of My Mind ]
[ So I Will Be Kind ]
[ & Try To Remember & Rewind ]
[ About The Last Morning That I Woke Up Refreshed & Revitalized ]
[ I Couldn’t Remember ]
[ Or Realize ]
[ When ]
[ It Had Last Been ]
[ As I Age ]
[ I Think It Has Been @ Least Two Decades ]
