Some nights, sleep eludes me,
yawns approach, then leave,
i pass the place
of passing out,
exhaustion brings more to grieve~
~I listen in the silence,
my memories sing loud,
then i recall the daylight hours,
alone in a croud,
sensing something's changing
deep within my soul,
no need anymore to be so burdened,
God's really in control~
~So when i should be dreaming
i wake to reality,
i pray, & read Your word, & find
more truth that sets me more free~
~As the dawn approaches,
Your gentle voice i hear,
whispering,"Enough for now",
& resting finally draws near,
I enter into Your arms,
my beloved bridegroom,
& surrender to Your life-changing love,
as it fills my heart, my room~
~Sleep will be here soon~
