Insomnia
Folder:
Pain/Ilness Digital green illuminates darkness,
emphasizing awakeness,
every sound in quiet house
heard clearly by closely listening ears,
sensory perception heightened to fullest.
Tossing, turning,
fluffing, fussing,
eyes wide,
watching shadows dance
before they sleep.
(lucky shadows)
Mind reels,
thoughts of day bounce to and fro
in un-slumbering head.
Yawning away today,
awake until tomorrow
as sandman slacks off duties tonight.
Close out green glow
as I stare upon insides of heavy lids
that mock me.
'Will sleep ever be apprehended this night?'
my tired brain wonders
as I mercifully drift
into unconscious dormancy.
