Swiss Cheese Consciousness With A Side Of Longing

I lay down late
Half sleep
I lay down early
Half sleep

Swollen eyes ache still
Mind turns over and over
A melancholy Ferris Wheel
Threatening to become unseated

The thread is really a tether
Understanding slowly unfolding
Universal tapestries coalesce
Press the pages down to reveal it

Press the pages down to repeat it
Press the pages down to succeed it
Press the pages down too conceited
Press the pages down to complete it

Paused in my spiral to oblivion ...
