Listless

Soft rain
Leaves shake
Worry fades
but sleep escapes
thoughts prowl
Dream awake
her face only
my mind quakes
close my eyes
Toss and sigh
What night
reveals
the  sun will hide

This is a great write-- very accurate on the way our minds are so annoyingly active some nights where sleep deludes. You have talent-- keep posting :)
