Living –
I have tried to do it with my eyes open
Tried and failed, night after night
To be alive, after all, is to be aware
Awake
My flirtations with sleep are ongoing but
I refuse to invite it into my bed
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so –
afraid that something beautiful will happen
while I am not awake to see
(I’m so afraid that something beautiful has happened
while I was not awake to see)

Thanks!
a third of our lives is spent dreaming of dreams that may never blossom in real life. I think that’s both incredible and sad at the same time
Yes, quite so 🙂 But I believe the act of dreaming – however useless – is the most beautiful thing we have.
I have trouble sleeping too, but I’ve never had the feeling it was because of such a nice reason as not wanting to miss a beautiful moment. I’d like that to be the reason though.
Then let it be your reason 🙂 May you always wake up to a plethora of beautiful moments.
I know those thoughts! It is something behind us that pushes-it is the something inside that we need to get onto paper, to express, to tell, that only we can tell, that only we have been given…don’t worry-you will not miss it!
“That only we have been given…” Yes! 😀
don’t go back to sleep 😉
Never! 😉

This was the perfect post to read when I m awake here the whole night and its 5am now 😀 and I don’t like sleeping for the same reason that something might happen and I may miss it. I like to use as much time as possible being awake and within senses 😀 Thank you for putting my feeling into words 😛
Thank you so much for saying this, and thanks for staying awake to read 🙂 It means so much to me.
It was my pleasure 🙂 Always welcome 😉
Billions of happenings have been missed.
Trillions more have not.
What is missed will not be missed.
What isn’t will.
Sleep in peace or not,
but sleep you will.
Your will will sleep.
(eep!)
Wow. Your wordplay never ceases to amaze me.
Your assessment of my skills never ceases to amaze ME–you are, as usual, far too kind.
Beautiful happenings
Happening all the time
Time to succumb
Become aware through your sleep
Sweet beauty inside
Always Within Reach.
Beautiful 🙂 Thank you!
