How Do You Sleep At Night

At times sleeps a battle
Tossing and turning
But I'm finding peace
Everyday learning,
To wear the mind out
When the body refuses to go on
I have tried picturing myself floating on a cloud
Or humming a favorite song,
None a sucess
To the over active thinker
Then what I tell you next
Go ahead laugh I won't call you a stinker,
The imagination runs wild
Really coming alive
Pretending im in a sword fight, oh what a child
Gets me every time,
Whether im in a fencing duel
A glorious knight never unopposed
My mind's fire cut off from it's fuel
Last thoughts before the eyes close.
You definitely think its silly
Well, I happen to agree
My new found go to sleep aid really
Seems to work for me,
So chuckle a little, my wife says im a dork
She can't fathom what it's like when sleeps delayed
And im not a survivor of the insomnia sort
So goodnight, I have a kingdom that needs to be saved.
