God Give Me the Strength

The nights are so long and sleep a butterfly that I chase.

It flys so ever lightly through my mind and lites but for a moment.

My eyes get heavy and my body so weary from the night.

Three o'clock the witching hour.

Your fear of death sets in.

Will death come to take you in the dark?

Night after night the pattern repeats until the break of dawn.

The butterfly circles over head and I long for it to lite and rest upon my soul.

But your fear of death is like a net that spreads over  our place of rest.

The butterfly ever so elusive cannot be caught or it's death would come.

For the strength of God it carries on it's wings then could not be spread.

No sleep would ever come to refresh the body and soul.

Butterfly o'butterfly so gently  lite upon me that I may feel the strength of God flowing over me.

    I've had a lot of nights like this. When you don't get enough sleep, every single thing becomes so much harder.

    I hope you get some good sleep soon. Thanks for entering my contest.

    Ohh, this is sweet and sad

    I recognize night like this. I love the metaphor of the butterfly - a symbol of freedom, , peace,
    enlightenment and rebirth. A very lovely piece you wrote here dear. Take care. Karen
