Sweet and Gentle

The jet lag lulls me to sleep during mid day,
  intent on confounding the deep confusion
  already penetrating every cell of this body.

But, my mind - when not lost in a cloud of fuzz -
  recognizes that staying awake when it's light outside
  is a good thing.

So, that is my quest this week...
  to stay awake during the day
  and find sleep during the night.

Seemingly a simple task,
  but it's taking all my energy
  and leaving precious little for writing.

The muse is still here,
  waiting patiently for my
  body and mind to align with this
  new place and time.

And then, she will push again,
  for I believe she is not done,
  perhaps only just started...

Namaste...
