Insomnia

Eyes flick open

Darkness warms me

As I chastise my mind

For loosing those scraps of slip

Precious moments dropped

Fragments of dreams fall to the floor

Shaking fingers grip

An ancient wool blanket

Stars dance through the window

Fantasy worlds glimmering

Far off and buried

Deeply into night

Penumbras of sleepy ideas

Arise as I twitch

And I can feel my own words

Lulling me to sleep

A prickle of adventure

Wrapping thin hands about me

And jerking me back

Into the land of

Hazy ideas

And snatches of night
