Elusive energy like
misbegotten passion
illusive and fleeting
for only a moment
then it is gone
like a faceted stream
of sunlight showing
prisms radiant as
diamonds vanished
as sunlight fades
Elusive energy that
fans out before you
star dust moonbeams
only captured in
dreamless sleep

I have Fibromyaliga, which seems alot like chroni fatigue syndrome, so often I feel as though I never have enough energy to see me through. I would so love to hold onto some of it when I do have it. Thanks Trisha!

I long for deep sleep where I don’t get up and down all night long but my life has never had that. Recently here my right hand and arm have been in lots of pain. Not sure which ‘itis’ it is…RH, Tendenitis, Bursitis or the Carpal Tunnel. Probably all of the above. Sometimes getting old is he pits. Thanks for your comment, Bren.
