Winding Down - An Exhausting Process

in #poetry8 years ago

Sometimes I run out of daylight, then I run out of night and my mind is still racing. When it is time to sleep, I have to put my mind to sleep. This is a poem that is inspired by my winding down process. Listen to the video while you read it.

Winding Down - An Exhausting Process 

I conceed

Tired and need sleep

Work isn't complete...

But when is it ever?

I'll have another chance tomorrow to be clever

Find peace before slumber

Necessary for wonder

Dreams are extensions of thoughts built in a day

Cognitive connections where you lead the way

Letting the river calm

Focusing on breathing

Laying down my head

Reflective soul reading. 

Gratitude and prayer

Mindful and aware

To be great you have to think great

Embrace the love and the fear

Let go of the the frustration

Tasks incomplete

Hold to the vision

Close your eyes and sleep.

I think all truly great artists agonise with the theme you so beautifully lay bare in this poem. You have the soul of a poet, a painter of pictures. Your genius resonates like the clearest of bells and will inspire much more than your winding down. Sweet dreams @walkingkeys, may your video guide your dream life wondering.
