*******

Sleep (and the Inner Workings of A Tired Mind)
A soft, puffed pillow
With light, warm blankets
The promise of silence waiting
But a mind running far too fast to stop

Waves of sleep crash over me
And I let them keep coming
They're shallow enough so I can't drown
Both a blessing and a curse

Exhaustion drags me downward
Like a weight sitting on my body
I shut my eyes in an attempt to fall
But instead I float, bordering consciousness

My mind continues swimming
Diving deeper and deeper
And my body begs for it to stop
To give it a rest
To make the pain go away
But deeper it goes
Down and down and down
And still the waves are too loud to sleep
