Wish To Dormancy

Is this another sleepless night
as I lie awake in bed
My husband's sleeping peacefully
while thoughts run through my head

I tell myself that it's all right
but still they enter in
So I'm writing poems in hopes that I
will drift off in the den

I came back to the soup
I'm excited to be there
It worked I'm ready to descend
onto my pillow's flare

My sleep is fitful but it is easy for me to begin sleep. I read a hot cup of camomile works wonders. ~~

Thanks for commenting, Victor. I will get some camomile tea and try it tonight. :)
