Morpheus, Where Did You Go?

Goldfinch60

Morpheus, where did you go?

Why did you desert me last night?

Instead of wondrous dreams

I was left with the thoughts in my mind,

The worries of my soul,

That kept sleep from me.

Morpheus, where did you go?

            A good question to put to the one who helps us shut down at night - love the image you chose too Goldi - wishing you a better sleep tonight my friend.

              Yep, been there. More often it seems as time goes by. I guess we find more things to worry about over time?
              Good write here, Goldie.

                I guess Morpheus is busy with preparing food for Thanksgiving.

                • Goldfinch60

                    Great, great poem, Goldfinch! There are nights where I wonder the same thing, but obviously without expressing it as eloquently and beautifully as you did here.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      You are most kind Fred, thank you.
