Restless sleep

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But the sheep don’t appear
The echoing of your name
Is the only thing I hear
In my mind, as if my brain
Vanishes, leaving an open space
Throughout the village of mountains
I hear the echo and in the snow I see your face

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
Still the sheep aren’t in sight
The fire in my mind that burns for you
During sleep, once again ignites
Toss and turn in restless sleep
To get close to you, I sometimes walk
In reality you’re not around
So why in my dreams, do you stalk?

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But when I do, the sheep quickly turn
Into sweet memories of you
In restless sleep you need me
When I awaken, it’s not true

I Let Go

I let go of the unhappiness I let go of the pain I let go of the sadness, that had my tears flowing like rain I let go of the fear, that being successful could bring I let go of the thoughts of failure, that would leave me in shame I let go of the hurt I let go of the past I let go of a love, that could never ever last I let go of the worries I let go of the cares I let go of the procrastination, that would leave me unaware I let go of the negative I let go of the anger I let go of all the frustration that led my life to danger I let go of the self-pity I let go of the blame I let go of the life that did nothing for my name Doubt, insecurity, mistrust, unfaithness, abuse I let go of all these things, for them, I have no use I let go Marcia S.
