Insomnia is

The quietest thing, and the loudest thing.

The most still, peaceful turbulence I’ve ever known.

All of the substance a single mind can hold, concentrated
Full of darkest fears, worries, panics
deepest desires, joys, breakthroughs.

Loneliness.

Transformation.

The future is so close and the past so vivid
The present is deafening.

A well of artistry and passion spills out into a whirlwind of messy, broken ideas and half-baked plans.

Doubt cripples the heart and smothers the soul until it takes full form;
Supreme overlord of the anxiety-ridden mind.

Energies swirl around and it’s all I can do to separate myself from everything else.

Dogs barking in the distance and family members snoring in drowsier rooms.

Where do I end, where does the night begin?

Insomnia is

The quietest thing, and the loudest thing.

The most still, peaceful turbulence I’ve ever known.
the results of last night's feverish scribblings
