Insomnia

In the dead of night
In the stillness
In the moments without light
In the darkness

We are able to hear what we normally miss
We are able to see what we cannot during the day
We are able to think at our deepest
We are able to feel what in our hearts lay

There are moments of bright ideas
There are moments of answers to questions that have bothered us
There are moments we are able to rationalise and conquer our fears
There are moments we can just ponder on what was

Those moments when you have time to plan ahead
Those moments where you can just reflect
Those moments where a million thoughts are not cluttering your head
Those moments all have a very big effect
Those moments remind us of how much we have to be thankful for

Those moments remind us that our wealth does not lie in possessions, but rather our friends, the food we eat, our family, nature, every breath we are able to still inhale, how fortunate we are and that we are only a few, because this is not the case for everybody

We pray without interruption
We give thanks and try not to miss a thing
We can pray for others with no background commotion
We can talk to God one on one

Perhaps this is why we wake up some nights and battle to fall asleep
It might be God calling us, to have a long overdue coversation that is deep
It is Him reminding us to stay grounded and never attempt to go too steep

There is no negativity to steal our attention
There is no one to impress
There is pureness in our intention
There is no reason to suppress

Everything has purpose I believe
Even when we just cannot sleep in the eve
