Awake through the night
Trembling thoughts of the day
My only solstice
In the dark which I lay
Today or tomorrow
Never find the words
For the darkness that must follow
Oblivious winding turns
The darkness keeps me happy
Far away from the light
But only for forgiveness
Do I seek the night
Dampen the light
So I may find the day
When I no longer fight
The sun’s revealing rays

Insomnia! The ultimate drag. I like the interplay with solstice/solace. You’ve captured the anguish of losing sleep.
I enjoyed the kinship with darkness expressed in this poem; it’s connection to forgiveness. And I loved the lines “Today or tomorrow/ Never find the words/ For the darkness that must follow.” I like that you describe insomnia and a fight between light and dark. Beautifully written.
Insomnia is a tussle between light and dark in so many different ways..it leads to a confusion and a weird sense of acceptance (if that makes sense)..which you capture perfectly..Jae
great play on words here.
