I’ve been sleeping intermittently of late, in fact each night I have been sleeping less, and thinking a little more.
The sheets feel ruffled and twisted around me, the clock is buzzing with sound, while the sleep light from my imac flashes compulsively in 5 second intervals, breathing ever so lightly as it fades and refreshes.
I form shapes, patterns and faces in the overcast shadows on the ceiling.
As I count each second by, ideas, thoughts and inspiration float through my mind.
What keeps me awake?
Dreams of yesterday, things I could-have…should-have done and what I will do.
The thoughts of tomorrow and dreams of around the corner beg to be answered. How can I sleep when so much is going on, things still move, my ideas are alive tonight and so much is to be done.
As I sigh, the light from outside flickers through my blinds, breaking into the dark shadows and flooding the corners of my room with grey.
It’s time to get some sleep.
