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

    clouds billowing drifting

    waterfalls cascading down

    snow softly hitting ground

    Close your eyes now sleepy one

    Today's battles have been won

    Slumber calls, the angels croon

    A soft and soothing restful tune

    Relax
