before I take
my night time medication
(though night may have been going on
all day)
knowing that
those pills
will seize
and freeze
my thoughts
leaving me thinking
that I am awake
while I dream
and type odd things
the change is sutble
swift
and I see it in the morning
when I see
what I have written
so
I take the pills
as I get into bed
shifting my soul
and mind
within Your arms
where You always hold me
and I let go
of my incessant need
to be thinking
and simply
am
with You
