Trying To Sleep

The light from the window 
danced on the wall
Projecting the branches of the tree outside
Like a painting in the dark.
My melatonin wasnt working
So I watched the light
And I thought about
California, and Idaho,
And Italy, and Egypt
Until I finally fell asleep

Loved the poem. Often find it difficult to sleep and I try all sort of things to sleep. Roaming the world/s, real and imaginary seems a nice way to drift into Hypnos' realm.
