No Sandman In Sight

When sleep won't come

late at night.

Outlasting the stars

with no sandman in sight.

You count sheep,

but I create portals.

You breathe deep,

but I open worlds.

I journey and travel

to amazing places.

Though my body is still,

my mind runs races.

My mind's eye

is owned only by me.

No one else's

are the things I see.

So much greater

than what can be.

My words, my words

belong to me.

They just won't stop,

like a river flowing free.

And then like a trap,

I'm taken by sleep.

Clouds of discoveries

wash over my dreams.

And when I wake,

time for new trials.

It's time for adventures,

when my mind runs wild.
