I lost the words

sky view, from my aunts apartment

I was exhausted yesterday from lack of sleep.  

I couldn't wait to climb into bed, close my eyes, and drift gently off to dream land.

But my mind would not allow it.

My head was swirling with a million ideas, 

words I wanted to write, phrases I wanted to remember. 

I wanted to write them all down, but laziness pursued and I never did.

Now those words and thoughts have escaped  me.  

Out there for another day hopefully, a day when I am ready to fully receive them.
