Moon Beam Insomniac

Mind cleaved, in two sites.
Never ending, fight or flight?
Corrosive fear, corrupting sight;
Moon full, no sleep tonight.

Stalking my rest,
Peeping through clouds,
Shining regret,
Beaming out loud!

Finally, sleep.
I find no peace;
Ravenous waits
the mouth of the beast!

Insatiable, slavering
Maw, swallows whole,
Scream out, vague slumber
“You can’t have my soul”

So I’ll ride on your beams
Till morning has come.
Best to take rest,
In the light of the Sun..
