Array ( [sid] => 10186 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Insomnia [time] => 2003-01-11 17:20:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I lie awake staring
eyes wide and glaring
sleep is not it seems my friend

It's four in the morning
a passing night I'm mourning
as the sun does creep around again

I've watched the break of dawn
with the dew up on the lawn
as the birds they do begin to sing

And I've felt upon my face
the mornings' warming grace
as tomorrow, now today comes again

I've tried and I've tried
until I did decide
that sleep has slipped my grasp once more

And though I can't deny
all those times that I did cry
when the suns' beaten path crossed my door

But all of my tears
cannot wash away the fears
that gather with the setting of each days sun

And as night it closes in
my prayers they do begin
that slumber would fill my waking void

Insomnia

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
