Awake -- again ...

Awake -- again ...

A Poem by Tinderhrted
"

When sleep evades

"


Wide awake 
At 1 am
Sleep evades me 
Once again.

Night ... you truly 
Aren't my friend - 
Wide awake am I again.

Head hits the pillow 
Eyes alert!
Sprinkle sleep dust
(Heck - throw dirt!)

Why?  Ohhh WHY?
Why still awake?
Fall A-S-L-E-E-P
For goodness sake!

All for nought
Just "ain't to be!"
When it is time 
Sleep will find me.
