Sleepless

Staring out the window Darkness there beyond Night people passing by Who knows where they go Once again I pace the floor Yet another sleepless night Slumber remains elusive Comfort not in sight Here I remain, pacing to and fro Several hours until the dawn of day Weariness overcomes me now I think I will try once more Maybe I can catch a wink Sleep will make tomorrow a better day For another night will fall I suspect but do not know These sleepless nights are our reward For having lived so long
