Restless sleep dawns early mornings
Mind’s anxiety churning
Indecision, trapped within confines
Warm sheets bring no comfort
Laid rigid with uncertainty
Of what the day will offer
Hands drag slowly round
Minutes gone, and then hours
Shadows roll over walls
Confirm the advancing day
Time passes, moving through treacle
Perception conflicts with reality
Fading light as eyelids flicker
Hazy images blur, darkness falls
Closed tight against brightness
A cloud shading the noon sun
Senses at peace, breathe in
Quiet solitude, breathe out
