Sleepy Yet Sleepless

Sleepy yet sleepless. 

It hasn't happen in quite some time. But it has been the case for the last couple of days. 

What could be the possible reason behind it?? 

It is because I have been waiting in anticipation. It is because my mind is waiting for someone, or for something. Hoping for something. Praying for something. 

Although the body is tired, the mind continues to stay wake. Perennially awake, awaiting something. Awaiting a word.

Will God give his blessings? Will He oblige for what I seek?

Time is sometimes a good mate. Time is sometimes a nervous companion. But wait is all that I can do. And stand the test of time. 

Wait with hope, prayers and thoughts. Waiting for God's grace. I am sleepy yet sleepless.

Robert Frost once coined these beautiful lines.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,  
But I have promises to keep,  
And miles to go before I sleep,  
And miles to go before I sleep.

How I wish to walk into those woods - lovely, dark, and deep, but not alone.
