insomnia

 
a summer wind blows
against my window
a restless breeze
shaking at my dreams

a sleepy moon
filling up the room
with a silver glow
like it knows what i don't know

the midnight air
doesn't seem to have a care
while my overactive brain
begs for sleep again

a weepy willow tree
swaying so serene
acting like it can't see
there's something troubling me

but i wish i knew
what this was, and what to do
to finally find relief
and slip off into sleep.
