Poetry: Sleep

Waiting For Sleep



It is early morning, and I'm still awake,
the world is quiet around me.
I knew I shouldn't have eaten that cake,
for it did nothing to tire me.

Here I sit, pen and paper in had,
and no one else is stirring.
I'm waiting for the brain command,
and now it is whirring.

Sleep is ready to come to me now,
and yet I'm still writing
I hear you saying Oh My Gosh! Wow!'
and now my eyelids are fighting.

Well, off to bed, I'm a sleepyhead,
no more delays tonight.
I'm going to climb into bed
and now out goes my light!

Zzzzzzz
