Coffee fills my mind with things that need to be unthunk and left to rest so I can rest easy and dreamy in duvets and feathers.
The caffeine courses through my veins like a kick of cocaine keeping my eyes wide and brain alive to everything and new things every second.
Try lying down and my ears fill with sounds of the day and imagined conversations play out their songs in a crescendo of noisy thoughts.
Activity itches to have it's way and steal my sleep away leaving me bought and spent in the morning.
Words tumble and mingle inside my skull clamouring to be at the forefront and brought to life by an overactive imagination.
The eyelids lie: "We're heavy now" but still they burst open straining to see light and life in the darkness.
Resigned to tomorrows tiredness I sit up and let the mind flow exercising and exorcising till at last it flops down weary and begs: "Let me rest."
More tomorrow...
