Poety: Sleepless in L.A.

Day is done, time for fun
Wide-eyed still I be
Lingering thoughts run wild
What within must I see?

Nudging at my heart strings
Feelings deep within
Processing my emotions
Yielding not a grin

Fear not the temporal
Body, breath, and mind
Keep the focus happy
All else hard to find

Be still restless mind
Let go, surrender still
Soon you’ll join with slumber
Angst a score of nil.
