Uneasy Beds

4 1 0
                                    

Keeping score
in subtle beats
A melody plays
dark and deep

While in the corners
and down the stairs
Shadows creep
everywhere

Eyes unseen
always watching
Formless beings
always talking

Restless phantoms
never slumber
finding nothing
for their comfort

Come to call
in the night
at the most
inconvenient time

And we toss
on uneasy beds
trying to chase them
from our heads

If dreams deliver us
to better rooms
hopefully we'll be
asleep real soon
