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?

Thank you Orchi.
I've had nights like that too. The mind just refuses to shut down for the night. Great poem Andy.
Thank you AP, yes those nights are a pain are they not.
May your nights now be restful and serene Andy.
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.
Thank you Fay, I too hope that I have a better night.
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.
Thank you Louis, too much goes on in our lives at the moment.
I guess Morpheus is busy with preparing food for Thanksgiving.
Well can you please send him back.
Well, wishing all to have a better night and asking Morpheus to hang around a little longer. Thanks Andy, great poem.
Thank you rr, most kind.
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.
You are most kind Fred, thank you.
