The stillness exploded
into the night magnifying sound.
Breathing thundered.
Subtle snores broke
in ear splitting waves.
Exhaustion knew no time
and cared little for rest.
Eyelids ground like rusty shutters
wanting to close but
refusing until the race
was complete
and the stillness renewed.

Someone needs a good nap, or a long rest. Wishing you a restful New Year.

Try a Vicodin for that rusty eyelid. Man that has to hurt, Dude have a good nap AFTER your cake and ice cream.
It's terrible when you can't sleep... and you've expressed that here so well!
Hope you enjoy a wonderful birthday with lots of pampering!
Lakeviewer - Just one of those nights. No big thing. Just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.
Greenie - Yes, as a matter of fact I could hear you snoring. Buy some Breate Right, would ya.
Brian - Those nights now send me to paper or computer. The distraction helps.
Stacey - Yup. We all do. I have 3 or 4 posts that are this same basic bull, different spin.
Oak - Nothing going on. Just awake at an inappropiate time.
G-Man - Does that 'Herbal Remedy' include anything in excess of 80 proof?
Azure - Thank you. All I want for my Birthday is time with my wife and kids. As you know.
Shadow - Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate the b-day wishes.
Walking Man - Nap sounds good. Best taken with Mrs. MM.
Felicitas - We all have those nights. I am blessed in that it is only every once in a while. Some just can't or are upside down in the pattern. I feel for them.
"Eyelids ground like rusty shutters"...that is exactly what my eyes have been feeling like with all the problems I've been having...corneal ulcers, iritis. Perfect description, but then again you're good at that.
Happy New Year!
