I can't sleep

my eyes are closely shut
but my heart is far from leap
it cries, it laughs, it weeps
and my mind goes deep
into thoughts ...

my body is tired
but I can't feel weak
when my heart is yearning,
in hunger and in need,
of moving reminders,
sweet soul breathers,
loving touch and kind gestures,
from people who loves God
and strives for His pleasure!

and such moments are the sweetest memories ...
