TWS #68

Every morning of every day,
a blurry hand rubs unformed eyes
until tossing and turning finally done,
restful sleep never come

You've your experiment to run,
where will nervous flesh will flee?
when led by a disquieted head and
encouraged by an unmended heart

This is your burden:
to poke,
prod,
and work yourself out

I've my own burden;
with a soul made weary
with each test of faith.

Just promise not to leave me behind

tell me your heart
no matter the hurt
of mine
