I have been the victim of stress at work in the past and have had to take time out because of it. Though these days I have learnt not to take my work home with me. It can be very hard especially if you are a caring person. But I think it's important to be able to have our own time to unwind and refresh ourselves, otherwise we carry the burdens of the world around us and never seem to focus on our own well being.

It's horrible being human sometimes, especially when working with people struggling - having to deal with lives filled with anger, pain and all points in between - it's a luxury to take off those issues and hide in the blessed relief of one's private space... I know what you're saying Wayne.. Phoebe

All you do is close your eyes
Slip between those tired sighs
And we'll tumble hand in hand
All the way to slumber land xoxoxo

I’m told I’m an acquired taste
With me there’s never any waste
However, if you’re up for it
I’ll organize a quick visit xoxoxo

When you go to sleep tonight
I'll be on that astral flight
Heading for your cosy nest
And that badly needed......rest? xoxoxo

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh! Boy did I sleep last night; I don't fight Insomnia she does not fight fare; I just go to sleep letting her fight with herself; then I wake-up refreshed; she is sleeping on my pillow and I go out leaving her right there so she want be exhausted when she wakes up. And for good measure I pull the curtain closed before leaving.

I love your poem and it is refreshing to read. BWP... James...

Delete?? Never!!...Thank you James for your dual diagnosis of my poem - you have no idea how immensely flattering that is but in reality (I know because this has happened to me many times) what actually happens is that we double send our posts because sometimes there may be a delay with the first and we think it never went - so we post it again - it's a glitch is all it is. Me, I prefer MY version, that you enjoyed my poem so much, you wanted to double deal it....and I'm glad you enjoyed it Phoebe

i love to go to sleep. though with the insomnia it's sometimes like being asleep when i'm awake...tricky to explain....getting kicked in the head by a hound dog doesn't help either ha ha - paora.

Atimes sleep could be the only healing portion
Easily affordable yet rarely available.
I think it is a priceless gift

And as a priceless gift we all have ownership of it...we need to really appreciate its value...thanks Ossy... Phoebe

I love to sleep as well. I find when the bones have done all they can a little doze is just enough to have them try again the next day. Good form on this poem.

I really appreciate sleep but sometimes it can be elusive - I often wake up around 4am and find it very hard to get back to it even though I should.Of course, when it comes, it's most welcome...thank you Mary Ann, be well..
