In the night, as I unwind, Events of the day rewind, Some linger longer and to memory bind, Others, quickly exit the mind. Unpleasant days can spill into the night, Disturb serenity, sleep and show their unruly might, Cause and consequence playback and trouble like a blight, Twists and turns instead of shuteye are not … Continue reading New Story
