Sleep

Sleep

Sleep beckons me

Like a secret lover,

Slipping out of my grasp.

Sleep whispers seductively

I want you.

I want you too,

But you flit away,

And I cannot catch you

In my cupped hands.

Wayward Firefly

Please, Sleep,

I want you.

I need you.

Author's Note

A quick ode to sleep...or rather, Insomnia.

Thank you! I typically don't have much trouble sleeping anymore so I guess that is a plus.
