awake

lay pretending to sleep in my bed,
so many thoughts rushing round my head,
plans for life and random chores,
sleep crashing like an ocean upon my tired shores.

a distant horizon to bring me some rest,
before this lack of sleep my sanity does test,
a dawning sun to bring me some peace,
so all the random thoughts will cease.

still happy am i...still raising a tired grin,
as i hear the morning life begin,
the binmen are out and the birds singing high,
so with these comforting noises i try......
to rest once more,
to close my eyes,
brain wont you hear my bodys crys?
switch off for a moment,
let thoughts turn to dreams,
let crashing oceans become tiny streams,
watch fantasys unfold in my head,
for though i am alone in my bed,
the one that i love, that i hold dear,
will in my dreams...be right here.
