Zoning Out
Sitting on the sofa
Sipping fast-cooling tea
Calming stricken nerves
Silencing the cacophony
Scattered thoughts of the shattered mind
Tender heart, once again pierced
Frail courage, reluctantly mustered
Numb excitement, vicariously transmitted
Vivid, cutting to the bone
Placid, resting in the spirit
Sleepful wakeness, the heart’s night
Wakeful sleepiness, the soul’s delight!
