A poem and prayer. For insomnia and those struggling with sleep. When uncertainty crescendos and worries reemerge. Lingering loudly. When it seems like just one more angle or plan could create the formula needed to be okay. Let go or relax. When no position is comfortable. Tensing, Stretching to no avail. When previous words replay and what was unusual echoes. May peace find your heart. Soothing the hurt. Howling loneliness. Or endless questioning. May you know, Believe, And trust. That tomorrow will be easier. While letting go. Not needing to prepare. May acceptance and faith support you. With ease and calm. To settle into sleep.
