hour of the soul

We call it hour of the soul.
These wee hours of morning
when sleep won't come and
thoughts won't go.

Maybe if there was a switch.
We could call it time for renewal
and turn it off allowing healing
if for only a night.

But we struggle to do whatever
it takes to find a peaceful moment
where the body releases control and
the mind releases all thoughts.

That's when hope returns.
Peace is found and the joy
of sleep returns--restful
sleep---thoughtless minds
and quiet spirits.
