Tricks From Dawn

I lie in bed after tossing and turning, 

yet another sleepless night I'm afraid.

A light shines in my eye with a bit of a glimmer. 

Believing it to be dawn, I rise.

My house is awfully quiet,

not like it isn't normally.

I grab my book from my bedside,

preparing to go to my early morning read.

Sitting down, I see that it is still dark outside.

Confused, I walk back into my bedroom.

I look out the window and realize that dawn is not what caught my eye.

A street light is on, with the glimmer from the rain.

I lie back down and sigh,

because I know sleep will not befall on me.
