Sleep

Sleep, where are you??
In the darkness 
My thoughts collide and scatter 
They chase away sleep 
As though it is the enemy 
They seek solutions to problems 
That are of monstrous size 
That I may not even own 
The ideas formed in the dark of night 
Rarely stay in the morning light 
When daybreak comes 
And my supporting cast are revealed 
And I am no longer alone 
Tonight , perhaps, I will welcome sleep 
It will be my friend 
Thoughts can be tamed and trapped and left 
until they can blend in with the ordinary
and be soothed by the daylight .
