You call to me
like a fog horn,
insistent,
overwhelming,
but your light house beacon is dark
and I toss on stormy seas
unable to find your sanctuary.

Very nice. When I’m tossing, I can hear the distant trains, too… 😉 Thankfully, they don’t whistle going through town in the wee hours.

Fear not my dear, I was only changing the bulb! Seriously, I liked this poem and do not mean to make fun or diminish it or you. Just some levity to intense emotional turmoil. I have been on those stormy seas many times myself. But I made a promise to myself long a go, I would not write unless it could be resolved or at least leave the reader with even just a slim hope, it would still be hope and that it always more than any of us need.
Ah well. Somedays there is hope, and somedays there is not. We always fall asleep eventually.
I know this feeling all too well. I love the metaphor you have chosen.
Thank you.
Perfect for me since I am the Queen of Insomnia!! LOL!! Slumber is most certainly an elusive bird flying away just out of my reach & far beyond my grasp..
It is so frustrating, isn’t it?
This is a perfect representation of being unable to sleep. Great poem!
Glad you liked it.
Beautiful Verse! Hoping you have a Wonderful Weekend 🙂
Thank you, Morgan. I just hope I can sleep in on Saturday morning! 😉
I always hope that too 🙂
