A poem relating to the problem of being sleepless and the entrapment of the mind. How a person can be trapped by their own problems and have trouble overcoming them.
Extended numbers of the hours tick away, deliberating time,
while bodies are plagued by thoughts, glassy eyes glazed over.
Memories, problems, projects, mysteries, panned out over the infinity ellipse,
always trying to understand and be understood by the world.
Tossing, turning clutter of mind and body, hunched over like road maps,
hourglass figures being pulled taut in eventual attempts at slumber.
Creation and meditation to focus the mind, levitate and lessen the pain,
hiding in cozy warm sleep, blankets upon themselves, without doubt or fear.
Hidden overcoats shadowing creation, landmarks sliding down their bodies,
through the highways of the minds internal etchings, its eternal survival.
