Less Rest

Jetlag, plus a questioning mind and a world full of possibilities; a poem makes.

~~~

Relentlessly restless
I lay awake
Awaiting
What; unknown
When; unclear
How; the most elusive of all

Most time is clear and calm
A small, still lake
But the rariety that is unrest
Occupies vast oceans

Corners of the conscious
No longer evading invasion;
Lit by harsh looks
Where comfort is lost
Freedom is found

Wake
Waiting
Relentless restlessness
