    As I Lay Sleeping

    As I lay sleeping

    I searched through my restless mind

    Looking for answers to every question I find

    Night becomes day

    Day becomes nigh

    Is there anything before or after?

    I want to know why

    Before; there was pre-time?

    After; is there any human kind?

    These are the questions that came to mind

    No sense it make when I put them to words

    As I lay sleeping this is what I heard.

    Being confused usually leads to great inspiration, turning writers to great poets. You flowed beautifully. I've had nights of unrest, because my mind fills up with questions after questions, and mostly about faith. It is unexplainable, but it does exist. You will your answers, just let it come naturally. Sometimes when we search we miss it all together. Have you had something just happen without explaination, or that gut feeling that tells you to do one thing, when you want to do something else. That is faith tugging at you. Your conscience is your holy spirit talking with you. Like GucciGurl said, just believe! This was a very beautiful write. Thanks for the read.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
