Lazily I Lie (Awake)

An acrostic ode to insomnia...

Late at night, I try to stop

All my thoughts as up they pop.

Zipping, darting, through my head

I wish that I could sleep instead.

Long for restlessness to cease;

Yet, I cannot find release.


I sigh and check the clock again.


Lights tell me it's 3 a.m.

I close my eyes; I'll try some more-

Even if it takes 'til four...
