That’s lovely, Rod. It often happens that just I am about to drop off, some sentences of a poem (or the entire poem) pop up in my mind and I’m compelled to get up and write them down.
Hi Rod.,Lovely poem. I'm one of those who suspects that, sometimes, a "third eye" opens when we go to sleep and we're suddenly thrust into a state where we feel more lucid and aware than ever. This may just be a time when we catch glimpses of other worlds or dimensions and even communicate with beings who reside there. Some may look familiar, like loved ones, perhaps long gone. We call these "visitations". But are they? Who's visiting who? I invite you to read one of my poems called "Fireflies" on Devin's Dreams, my substack, which addresses this very them.
Excellent advice, Rod, written so beautifully. I know how you feel, as do countless others. When my head hits the pillow, my brain wakes up. The chattering is difficult to overcome. Thank you for the wishes for restful sleep. I'd add more to my comment, but I think I'll just sleep on it. ;)

Thanks, Joyce. I have done the same many times. :-)

Hi Devin! Thank you. I will take a look at your substack.
Hi Rod. I'm Dan, not Devin. Nice to meet you. Devin is a character in my novel, Devin's Dreams, which is also the name of my substack.
Ahh, nice to meet you, Dan. Thanks for the correction!
I’m have lived this for a very long time. I appreciate you. Thanks for posting.
Sure thing, Monica. I do pretty well a lot of nights. Some are pretty bad though. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

Haha! Thanks so much for the great comment, Sharon. I hope you sleep well!
Yes, it's like that you write because the words demand to be captured or lost forever to the ether.
That is very ironic, indeed! Very nice poem. Hope you sleep better tonight!
I had trouble sleeping last night, and I get frustrated because it’s my most important thing
