Fantastic snap shot - been there myself, too. I love how you've framed it with those opening and closing lines - inspired.

Hi Andy, thanks for the comment- the ending came as a shock to me-almost 'automotive'.

hi Jane, thank you for your comment. Crowding in- spot-on, thought are always crowding in, crowding in since I was 7.

hi Francine, you are correct re 'the mind' but the light source was a lamp in my bedroom. :o)

I enjoyed this, it made me smile: you are either waking in the dark because the book is not bad enough to cause complete stupor and you should change that book or there are thoughts crowding in , in which case I think there may be another poem on its way!

I know this feeling all too well...
You cannot stay focused because your mind is constantly running!

p.s. The photo looks like a shot from the top of a lit candle : )

Been there. Can't think of another poem which captures it so precisely.

I want to take this as sleepless night times and trying to read but reading the same stuff over and over..most probably because I am doing the same of late..orrr it could be something completely different as Win says..this can be interpreted in other ways too..which is a good thing! :o)

Hi Tommy. Lots to interpret in this. What book, Why 4 times, nature of the sigh etc but thats for the reader and an interesting pic too. Looks like the view down through a whisky tumbler into a fire. Win
