Revolving Echoes

Fatigue with subtle Fingers stroke my mind. Rest my thoughts, expel The endless round of Voices in my head.   Revolving echoes. Nothing leads to Something leads to Nothing ..STOP IT!   Dead silence. Drift on waves to dreaming.   Gently Fall to   Sleep.

Title

I think the title is excellent Kaz, soon as I read the title I knew I would relate to the poem. I've suffered from depression and this poem describes my nights laid in bed unable to switch off my brain. BRILLIANT.

Revlving Echoes

Well my friend i think like you my mind wanders so and cannot make any sense of the day and night dreams. I cannot switch ofso sleep is hard to come but eventually i drift on the cosmic flow the colours of the universe to explore. Dead silences drift on waves to dreaming just love this line but i drift whether it is night or day awesome Maggie R

Thanks O

I can relate - About ten years ago I suffered from depression and the medication really didnt help at all - a change of lifestyle did.:-) Thanks for your support and feedback my friend - its very much appreciated. There is something about this poetry form that appears to work in terms of drawing the reader into the theme/moments like this. I think I will be experimenting with it a little more in the future! :-) Cheers - Kaz :-) It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
