I lay here in this big feather bed trying
to sleep but it isn't coming to me again
this night, mind racing in circles with the
thoughts of the nights end, do you hear
me in this world of silence, my breathing
is it to loud, gets up from the bed looking
at the clock next to the bed one am oh
what am I to do?
Wander the house looking at the things
within my house, eerie looking in the
darkened house, wander through the
kitchen, stopping to get a warm glass
of milk maybe this will help me to sleep,
continues on towards the window in the
den, looking outside into the inky darkness
beyond.
Stars are out, twinkling within the darkness
of the sky, the moon like a round ball of
brightness with in the sky reflecting from the
water in my pool, it is a beautiful scene, but
that doesn't help me I am still wide awake,
walks to the television and turns it on sitting
down in front of it hoping this will let me
sleep as it sometimes did.
Noises of the night, a dog howling, a cat meowing,
the house settling, the wind whispering in the
night, all relaxing from the familiar sounds of
the night time, even the darkness is not silent but
has the sounds of the crickets and Katie dids chirping
with in its inky darkness, the television talks but I
hear it not, it is talking to the room with in this
silent world of mine.
Sleep will not come this night it is now four am and the
dark is becoming lighter as the days dawning begins,
another night with no sleep, another day with the
tiredness that follows my insomnia, tonight is another
time to try for sleep, I wonder how long this will be
going on this insomnia, why me? I ask the air around
me getting no answer, I get up to start the day knowing
that I will not be getting any sleep this time.
