Sleepless

I lay awake once again Unable to clear my head. I wish this storm of thoughts would cease, And allow me to go to bed. I dream about the future. I reminisce about the past. I think about things I could have done. A funny thought crosses my mind and makes me laugh. I try to comprehend the vastness of space, And speculate about aliens. I theorize about time travel And what was there before time began. I try to count some sheep But they mull around so fast. I lose track and have to start over. How much time has past? I think I figured out why we have wisdom teeth, Where Atlantis may be, any why we end prayers with Amen. I paint a picture in my mind. Then erase it, and paint it once again. I do everything but sleep. Then I wonder why we even need to. Imagine everything we could accomplish if we didn't. Probably nothing, just like I do.
