insomnia


Rest is Nigh

Eyes tired
brain wired
thoughts bouncing off the walls

Pray to sleep
deadlines to meet
but an unquiet mind calls

The drug of choice
a whispered voice
singing a lullaby

To the ears of my spirit
so my heart can hear it
and know that rest is nigh

From your heart, soft and vulnerable at the end. Therein lies the lullaby. This moves like one.
