migraine

migraine pain moved

in Monday night

a greedy visitor

allowing no room 

for sleep, comfort

creativity, rational

thought shoved aside

left my mind edging

delerium, churned

nights extend long

while the world 

slumbers on without 

you, praying

for morning's light

relief, returning hope

of a new day

today fatigue lingers

headache's shadow

but I am indeed on the mend

walking with Emily and the imperfect redeemed
