I wrote a poem today, after a night of restless sleep:

Modern weapons

In ancient lands

Pierce the crust of our earth

Send tremors

Through our dreams

We lurch awake

In our comfortable beds

Wide-eyed

In the splintered night

Wondering why

Sleep eludes us

I’m drawing daily to help manage depression, long-term disability, and life in general. If you’d like to see the beginning of this project, you can see it here. You can also follow me through WordPress or on Facebook.
