it is good to see you here man... great poem, crash me with exhaustion... wow... the title... is that a reference to a hurricane? if so it surely fits with the jostled thoughts running wayward... Richard

In the first stanza, you mention 'incites' and in the second, you mention 'cluttered'. Would 'clutters' work better in this case?

I too, liked "crash me with exhaustion" good poem David~ ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous

and if we were all as honest, everyone would have a poem like this somewhere in their outfit--the racing mind which keeps one half awake at night, the place where "here where thoughts race/up then down my mind"..sometimes prayer cannot even stop this. thank you for your poignancy as always! GB

It's been a long while where I have read something written by another that speaks of my own state of mind. David, the sentiments echoed here, are fully understood by me, for I to struggle with all the thoughts, the struggles from the day, which present themselves at night are not at all easy to wrestle with, especially when the body is weary yet the mind seeks to deprive it of it's much needed state of slumber due to the fact that the mind feels this should not be allowed until it to can be at some level of rest. Well written. Thank you for sharing, Much love in script Feebie, (Jill) Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things.

"perfect in tune and time and bringing a sleeplessness to mortal me" Great to see you posting my friend, Cheers, Jess

puts it so well, you also described my frequent state of mind here. far from being uncommon, "the thoughts that jostle" are probably part and parcel to nearly everyone's existence, whether they decide to admit openly or not. great job portraying the mind's sometimes pitiable anguish. GB
