Dreams

Sleep is what I need today
Last night is when she escaped
She opened up my window
and slid down both the drapes

She disappeared and 
I didn't notice until I awoke in fear
Realizing I WAS awake
and Sleep is no longer here

Searched the closets 
Searched the hall
I searched up & down
Found nothing at all

Sleep must not miss me?
She's upset with me still
No remedy can help me now
Not warm milk or sleeping pills 

Sleep is what I need today
and she's causing quite a stir
NEVER TAKE SLEEP FOR GRANTED
everyone needs her.
