​Beautiful words 

Embrace my mind 

Yet life demands 

My attention

So, it’s now Tuesday

Outside the window; darkness

Yet I must arise

There are times I hate waking up

Dawn’s aggressive touch

Forcing me up from my sleep

Unwelcome, awake

My mind fights me

August 9, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Awake

Not my desired state

Yet here I am 

Fighting my own mind

What do I gain

When I win?

Awake Too Early

June 13, 2018 Carl Setzer2 Comments

​My relentless mind 

In perpetual motion 

Sleeping’s a challenge 

Awake against my will

Dreaming of dreaming 

Longing for slumber 

The machinery of my mind 

Psychological cogs churn and spin 

Whirring hum of my soul

I’m not asleep

April 6, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway

Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…

Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.

Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong

A Morning Meditation

October 16, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together

And rise
