Eyes open, not seeing
Asleep, but not asleep
Hands move in slow motion
Tethered to the ground
Or so it seems
Words on the page
Blur into random lines
Hieroglyphs from some language
Long forgotten
Did I say that already
Or just think it?
Time out of time
Time with no meaning
Thoughts half forgotten in the thinking
Coherence
Just a memory
Conversation stings my ears
Voices swarm around me
Becoming background noise
Day after a night with no sleep
Or is this waking a dream
Did I say that already
Or just think it?
Serenity Exists 
I like the line “Did I say that already or just think it?” This poem seems like it would occupy a tune well; did you have a melody in mind when you wrote it?
Oh, and I like the line, “Did I say that already or just think it?”

No, I had not thought of putting it to music. I did not sleep Monday night, and these were quite literally random thoughts that went through my brain during the day on Tuesday.
And you are not alone, that is Laurie’s favorite line as well.

And I really like the line that says, “Did I say that already or just think it?”
Oh…did somebody say that already or did I just think it?

Gee, there’s an echo in here! 🙂 (hmm, did I say that already or just think it???)
