Let Me Sleep (Tick’s Song)
Wake me in the spring,
When grasses green and bluebirds sing.
Let me sleep away
This cold, gray winters day.
Please let me sleep.
I’ve no appointments I must keep.
Just wake me in the spring,
When the sun has heat to bring
D L, I enjoy the serenity and peace with how even one of the smallest creatures in nature is personified in the changing of the seasons.
THOUGHTS
Thoughts roll through
Thundering like a freight train.
I grab hold,
Expecting to enjoy the ride.
Pulled off both my arms.
Still I did not let go
Short but full, I understand this piece quite well. It reminds me of my thoughts exactly. I tend think a whole lot more than I should at times. And even when I let go of old ideas, I believe it’s my controlling nature that holds on to something just in case and for a reminder. : ) Thanks, D L.
