When sleep matters, it never comes.
Minds Race. Eyes glaze but stay wide open.
Pray for sleep and God laughs.
Write.
Perhaps to free the mind.
To slow the race.
Bring peace.
The clock ticks. Echoing round the room.
Drop the pen.
Close the eyes.
Allow dreams.
Let Goddess, the nurturer, bring peaceful, gentle sleep.

A great 55 with universal appeal. I like the periods at the end of sentences; they "feel" like the tick-tock of a clock. I also love the picture you posted. I look forward to more 55's from you.
I know the feeling. This flowed beautifully. Great words.
Dragons dream . Dragons have trouble sleeping. Good 55 catches it all.
Our 55 is posted
Sleep comes when dreams need to be dreamed. Until then I will keep the eyes open and question not what the mind see's but rather why it perceives what isn't there.
Well this is a different one indeed, but like the above the periods do leave you with a sense of the second hand of a clock... tick tock goes the clock as life drifts from on intention to another. Wonderful periece MM.

Mimi & T - You two are so insightful and deep. I am just a goof who puts periods at the end of a sentence....you all put the art, feeling and depth to it. Thank you. - MM
Anthonynorth - Kind words.
Fan - Love dragons....with Sean Connery's voice.
TWM - Can I adopt you as a father? He is only in my dreams having left this plain a decade ago. Your comments are so thoughtful and very meaningful to me. Thanks.
This was my last night. Sleep just didn't want to come. You describe it so well.
Good 55
