Ah you, my restless soul,
pinged by life’s heightened
moments that take captive
your sleep and generous
soul and make you a slave
on the edge of life, for you
I wish a heavy draught of
peace that frees your being
and opens your eyes blind
to the colours that swirl
in front of you and the joy
that sits like a loyal dog
waiting longingly at your
frantic and troubled feet.
