Another sleepless night


Another sleepless night, 
Caused not by pain, this time, 
But by strong, stormy winds, 
Relentless, hurling pine cones and detritus 
 To clang against the metal roof, 
And trigger restless thoughts that spill 
Like water over rocks, surge in and out: 
Should we, or should we not; 
What is the wiser course, and why 
Are we still drawn, and when 
Will we accept both passing time 
And rising limitations?
Will we regret having said no,
Or saying yes?
