Description

Good news being that, since writing this one, I have indeed slept a bit.  Yipee.

May we both find a little more sleep, and may it come with the bonus of some beautiful, peaceful dreams!

I so know this feeling.

I'm always the first up, and the last one asleep.  My husband says I'm a worrier, and I guess he's right.  But someone has to care.

Alas, too true.  May caring come with less worry and more sleep for us, in future!!

I was also thinking of mythology lol, for some reason I kept thinking of the guy forced to push a boulder up a hill for eternity but it keeps rolling down...similar burdens. It is short but you really portray that feeling of stress and the wish to just rest.

FridgePoetProject In reply to Laur720 [2015-09-03 04:34:24 +0000 UTC]

Mythology certainly seems to be the dominant consensus with this one!  But your take on eternally rolling a boulder up a hill is unique among the correlations, it seems.  Bravo!

Makes me think of Atlas the Titan (alongside the thoughts that go running through one's head during lessons)

Evokes such a strong sense of heaviness; well done!

oh yes...you can tell I don't sleep enough but how well I conjugate irregular verbs   I'll go take a nap on my grammar book

FridgePoetProject In reply to AlwaysRainCheck [2015-09-03 03:30:47 +0000 UTC]

Ugh.  Isn't that the age-old story.  Curse you, irregular verbs!!    May you conquer them once and for all, and trade that grammar book for a proper pillow sooner rather than later!!

We dream to move mountains, not carry them.
Glad you got some sleep.

The repeated line is my favourite, it carries so much weight right to the end~ The shape of background and the lines remind me of the indent left when you drag heavy things across the dirt, and it's awesome!

"We dream to move mountains, not carry them." -- hear hear!!  And I absolutely love your interpretation of the shapes.  So brilliantly unique.  Fancy that!
