Insomniac's Lament


















It is simple enough to
convince one's bone-weary
body to rest; the conundrum
is how to persuade the mind,
feverish with impressions,
ideas and resolutions to
join the body in life-sustaining
rest. The frequent and
all so implacable resistance
as mind meets resolve
yet refuses to acknowledge
weariness baffles and
discourages the
most resolute of
mind-weary survivors.
