Sleepless

~~I woke at two and then again at four
My sleeping is wakeful my dreams no more

I shuffle around to find a place
For comfort and to rest in my prison of space

My mind is racing, should I call on 'the sheep'
Oh my, I cannot get a restful nights sleep

I hear a sound it means.. night is gone
A bird has woken with his breaking dawn song

Hope he slept well, it sounds like he did
His chirpy chords, a symbol, the night is rid

I crawl out my space and seek hope in the glass
Today, I wish for a tired and bleary eyed 'pass!'

I must get on and do my day
And later, sleep like a babe, in this place I will lay

I muddle through, in a worn out fog
How I wish for 'to sleep like a log!'

So I'm back in my cosy warm bed
My eyes feel heavy, a little like lead

I decide to stay awake, I want the quality of deep sleep
My God...I slept like a babe till the alarm went bleep

I feel much better and in control
I feel alive in my body and soul

My day was a joy and I did good deeds
I hope my pattern of sleep returns to my needs
