Restless

Restless My eyes are closed, but my mind is awake I can't seem to sleep; what should I take Thoughts keep racing through my head. Restless nights in a sleepless bed Wondering thoughts short little dreams Some are pleasant others mean Sleep is a hopeful dream; it seems pretty clear No rest at all; that's my fear Several hours in bed and still no sleep A good night rest would be a wonderful treat Wondering thoughts in a wandering mind Wasting sleep wasting time The dawn lights break in the window glass Rolling and tumbling, how long will it last It seems clear another sleepless night. Darkness retreating, I can see the light. Another night wasted I've run out of time Restless thoughts in a troubled mind. Lpickard
