Sleepless in Ohio



Can’t sleep

I am waiting for sleep to come

But it is elusive

It escapes me

Tonight



Worries
They come like demons in the night
Robbing and tormenting.
Who asked Them here?
Not me.


My mind
Fruitlessly rehashing the day
Reliving each moment.
The sleep I seek
Is gone.




I pray.
My Father who art in heaven,
Comforting, familiar,
Sweet, peaceful words.
I sleep.
