insignia of insomnia

insignia of insomnia  
-e.webb

shut your eyes--but you see so bright,
plague in the mind--in form of hind sight
the conscious aware unwilling to rest-- your conscious variance turns to pest

the body though still, dances in your bed--a dance of no-choice on the stage of your head,

the white cloud of a thought -- swimming in a serene blue,
turns to tornado twisting  in you,

you try and stop -- a twist, turns to Knott
how to sleep --the one and only forgot

you open the eyes to flood a thought--untie the knot that sat so taut,

read a book to self destain -- to make what thought , sanity; taught insane

within the rapids a running must be caught, 

made back to meander of a streaming thought--the dreams sanity boat of separable sort
