“Peaceful Morning” by Irina Sztukowski
on again off again
sleep comes and goes
by its elderly whims
all in all not so bad
having three or four
mornings per day
Mornings

Poesy plus Polemics 
There was a lovely bonkers lady in the home for the terminally bewildered where my poor old dad ended up. She added years to her life by genuinely thinking each time she nodded off then awoke a new dawn had arrived (and she nodded off 10 times a day)…at these times she would insist on a full English breakfast (true story by the way).

she and I must, then, be kindred bonkers spirits

Amazingly refreshing perception of a broken sleep cycle. Better than a lullaby !

You are blessed both to be asleep and to be awake; I find myself more and more in the twilight zone somewhere in between: much like required consciousness while undergoing some surgeries . . . And when I wake up I ask for a shot of Jack Daniels rather than a full English breakfast . . .

I, too, have shared the occasional breakfast with Jack

At least your intake is much more uplifting. Me i dilute that black wine, still it flows. Remember that sleep slows the creative mind, um hmm

Look into great minds of history they have little or less sleep when they had their great concepts and ideas.
