Sleepless Nights
I cannot sleep,
The time goes by slowly for me.
I toss and turn yet nothing feels right.
Outside the storm is raging,
Lightning flares and thunder roars.
The rain pounds down on the ground,
As the wind bellows and wails.
I walk from my bed and gaze out my window,
The lightning streaks light spider webs.
The rain falls like bullets into the ground.
The trees sway in the wind like grass in a field.
I sigh and go back to my bed.
I close my eyes and try to sleep,
But all I see are nightmares that continue
To haunt and taunt me,
I call out for peace and sanctuary but,
My call isn't answered.
My mind begins to wander,
I pace and go dreary.
The storm starts to worsen.
I settle in for a sleep that refuses to come.
