Fingers
Fingers play;
like a light breeze;
bringing shivers and smiles.

Comforting Moon
Crying;
as full moon rises.
Embraced and soothed
by its warmth.

Listening to you talk;

Insomnia et al by Blair Gaulton

I am a creative person who enjoys doing many things. Theatre, writing, dancing, martial arts, giving shiatsu massages to help people get pain relief. I like being active and spending time with people. I have difficulty sleeping and have had it for a long time. I have a very active mind and I find it hard to turn it off because I get a lot of ideas. What i have been doing recently is to physically exhaust myself by doing a lot of walking; so that I feel tired and can fall asleep. For that to happen, however I need to be mentally tired too. I have learned to accept; if I cannot sleep, to let it be and not to force it or  think about it too much.
  Quite often I do some meditation and that does relax me a bit and occasionally it does result in some sleep. That is what I am going to try now because I have a busy day ahead of me.

Poem July 23rd 2015

Blood Sugar Bushwacking
Brain bobs;
I feel like I am swimming while walking.
A big yawn.
Feels like my brain is gone.
Bushwhacked by blood sugar again.
Apple juice quick!
Thankfully does the trick.

Poem July 20th 2015

Building Shakespeare
No I’ faith;
or by your leave.
T’was a building;
of a Shakespearen set;
you would not believe.
Our spot had been keel hauled.
So we wandered afar;
By gar!
Random bikes and frisbees;
flew around.
Also some;
unusual and intriguing sounds;
in the background.
We did it, had fun.
Proud it was a wonderful show.
we also drowned them out;
cause we were loud
Drew a fine crowd;
their applaus was balm;
for our Shakespearen souls. 
Priceless as gold!
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)July 2015

Poem July 19th 2015

Imperfections: Strengths or Weakness
There is a debate;
if our imperfections;
should undergo corrections.
Are they weaknesses or strengths?
We can go on at length;
about them.
Consider it carefully, then decide
whatever feels right for you;
then you know what to do.

Poem July 16th 2015

Inspite of Shipwreck
Shipwrecked on land I may be;
but inside of me;
lives the sea.
I close my eyes
I feel my native ocean’s call.
It gives me strength
when I face life’s squalls.
When I dance;
the wind from home carries me;
I fly happily as if it were a shanty.
If feel I lonely;
the fog’s hug
gets rid of the loneliness’ bug.
Yes, I miss it.
I can close my eyes;
I am there;
fills me with good cheer.
It is even better when I am physically there.

Pattern of Trying to Fall Asleep
When I cannot sleep;
I have found a pattern;
that I repeat.
I write for awhile;
If that does not wear me out;
I walk until I cannot walk anymore.
When I return; I sleep for sure;
unable to do anything else.

Doubts
Doubts are clouds we create; 
to block ourselves
from shining like the sun.

Avoiding the Sun’s Lash
Encased in sun screen;

in pain at myself for having forgotten it,
and being sun lashed.

Poem July 1st 2015

Absence of Words
An absence of words;
disturbs;
the flow.
Better let go;
give it time.
When the time is right;
it will suddenly appear.
It was always there; somewhere;
because you needed time,
and stopped blocking yourself.

Glowing eyes;
Smiling face.
Lighten up the place.
A dream come true;

Then the alarm woke me up.

Sharky eyes;
stare people down;
as they enter the compartment.
Most leave immediately.
