Challenge
Write about what you think about the minute before you fall asleep.
Love is tested at 4am
Long days concluded with comfy pajamas and enveloping blankets
The mind puts away concerns to venture to imagined landscapes
Ready to welcome the healing peace found in deep slumbers
Silence is shattered, the calm disrupted, jarred to wakefulness
Insomnia plucks at nerves as sleep is once again deprived
Inhuman rattlings emanate from just a few inches away
Rational thoughts are soon driven out by desperation
Love that comes easily in daylight hours begins to strain
Exhaustion battles with the heart in a nightly war
