sleepless through the night
counting heartbeats, pass and present
whispering till dawn

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

So well done. This is often how I try to settle myself back into sleep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't....Thanks for this.
whispering till dawn - intriguing words. Nicely done!
First good sleep in a few nights last night.
Thanks Sandy for your kind comments and for stopping by.

Much thanks Sue for reading my work. I have been ill of late and have a great deal to catch up on.

Yes Stan, counting heartbeats can be addictive. Thanks for your sweet comments.

Lovers, fall asleep.
Someone will awaken you
just before the dawn.
We feel the same way when I am also sleepless...:)
I might try this, Melanie. I can't conjure up any sheep to count but I can hear my heart (throbs) if my ear is on my pillow.

Magical Mystical Teacher, thanks so much for your beautiful comment.Lovers are very special people as they breath as one, counting heartbeats together.
Melanie
Amity, so true. It is better then sheep. It's more romantic to think each breath, each heartbeat binds lovers forever.
Melanie
Sweet friend. All you have to do is slow your breath, listen and count. It would really be wonderful to count the stars of night as you rest.
Melanie
