SLEEP TOOK A WALK

because sometimes sleep isn’t there

 

I am wide awake, wandering in the morning light,

My weariness has been with me throughout the night.

I feel sadness within my bones, and my heart is cold,

Sleep must have a conscious and be very bold.

 

I guess sleep went out for a walk tonight,

Along with happiness and the joy of the coming day.

It’s not uncommon for them to slip quietly away.

They also need some time, to run and play.

 

I can survive a night without my precious sleep,

Tomorrow I will be dreaming while counting sheep.

Sometime days like this our bound to happen,

Like a day with no hot rock music, only Rappin.

 

Sleep went out on the town last night, I stayed home.

I walked around sleepless as my mind did roam.

I played solitaire games, and danced in the night

And finally in I found sleep in the morning light.

 

Sleep came home with happiness and Joy,

With dreams and hopes and squeaky yellow toy.

So I found my pillow and laid down my head

And I fell with sleep on my big soft bed.
