Last night , a restless night
thoughts churning ,
ruminating edgy thoughts
void of peacefulness
Last night , a restless night
tossing and turning with an awakened allusion ,
the distance traveled circles back
through introspective doubt ,
metastasis borne of outrospective disquiet
Last night , a restless night
dreaming bulbous snowballs expand in downhill motion ,
the inertia of gravity imbibes truth to truth
leaves a wake like an avalanche of fallen dominoes ,
an unidentifiable shadow of confusion
Last night , a restless night
awakened isolated ,
questioning whence this shadow come forth
questioning what was this shadow once
in the truth of light ?
Last night , a restless night
metastasizing doubt ,
like unseen malignancy
eats from the inside out ,
past premonition transcends
Last night , a restless night
peace so close yet so far away ,
peace befogged by metastatic unease
leaving an inert dawning shadow of doubt
Last night , a restless night …
