Midnight vexation by Suzanne Allen
11/25/2022
Awakened by random sounds
Peering into the darkness
Heart begins to pound
Phantom noise, nothing there
Racing heart begins to slow
Startled, by fear
Look at the clock, check the time
Blurry, fuzzy eyes
Too early, to rise and shine
Try to sleep once more
Needless vexation begins
Thoughts hard to ignore
Overwhelmed by what may be
Alone for so long
Then you sought out me
Not sure why I mattered to you
Negative thoughts abound
Keeping a belief in a love that’s true
Heart beats faster, thoughts race
Anxiety begins to swell
Riding the wave to a safe place
Read your messages from before
Deep breaths, begin to lessen the ride
Feel safe and secure once more
Temporary moments of uncertainty
Warmth of love fills my soul
I’m glad you are here with me
Know this love, same as years ago
Kept hope for your return
Mind quiets as the calm grows
You are my life, my heartbeat forever
I experience your love every day
Serenity and peace return, feeling better
Midnight mind of chaos has ceased
Sleepy once more
Restful sleep, dreams, and peace
