My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul

I’m not asleep
Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway
Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…
Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.
So, I’m Awake
Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong
A Morning Meditation
Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together
And rise
Children’s Laughter
This sound
Laughing children
Always a delightful way
To awaken
Slumber
Morning
Sleep, awake
A subtle dance
Between states
Unwilling to choose
Not just yet
Not just
Yet
This Morning
Greeted by grey skies
Whispers of rain on the wind
Noise of life: awake
Awake at a ridiculous hour
Sleep’s seductiveness
Drawing me ever closer
My eyes flicker shut
