Awake in thought!

In bed I lie

Awake at night

The ceiling my view

My window to the right.

The night so quiet;

Deathly still.

Outside, branches outstretched

Against dark skies, clear. 

Motionless, still as the night.

Once tapped the glass, I feared.

Inside, young at heart

Thoughts run wild

The body weary

So I'm told

I hope to fall

In slumber soon.

Fours hours to daybreak

Come on thoughts!

Let's get back

To counting sheep.

the creative and active mind never stops... i wonder how we sleep at all, sometimes... i once battled insomnia for several months, catching most of my fledging naps during daylight hours... it was brutal...

I know that feeling like the time clock is out and so funny when you can't sleep all night and 30 mins before you have to get up, get ready for work ,you are tired ready to sleep lol

I have many nights like this - I need to sleep but I can't stop thinking! You describe it perfectly in this one.
