The Great Healer

A sleepless night, tossing & turning

Tormenting thoughts, stomach churning

A new day dawns, the last of Spring

The hum of traffic & birds on the wing.

Feeling like a write off, I lie in late

Struggle out of bed, head in a state

Things to do & places to go

Onto my yoga mat, I get in the flow.

Work up a sweat then dive into the shower

Hot then cold to give me power

Lash on some make up, brush my hair

I’ve missed my morning meeting but I don’t care.

It’s afternoon & time for some art

I’m not in the mood, don’t know where to start

So I stare into space as time ticks by

I want to go home, curl up & die.

Sleep, the great healer, missing it badly

Filled with fatigue, tonight I’ll slumber gladly

Escape this world for just a while

Awaken to summer bearing a smile.
