Sleep On It

Whispers crackle

in the back of my mind

like a withering candle,

a wick burning to

it’s impending end.


A pillow of thoughts

to sink my head into

while I sort through

withering whispers.


A blanket of questions in mind,

they drape over me,

holding me down.


The questions no one can answer,

stay unknown as I

search my mind for a solution.


Blow out your crackling candle,

and pray for a sound pillow tonight.

There's only one way

to find your answers.
