Peaceful daydreaming
Is a magpie finding sleep
Upon the branches

Even with my eyes closed
The room begins to spin
In no particular direction
Yes, a silent sort of din
Kaleidoscopic swirls
Make waves across the walls
Home alone, in this nightmare
Where no one hears my calls
I try my best to stand up
But fall back onto the bed
Concentric circles swirl about
I’ll just lie down here, instead
Make it stop, I hear me say
I can’t take this any longer
A sedative can help me sleep
Or something even stronger
To silence all these demons
Playing games inside my head
I just want to go to sleep
It’s these restless nights, I dread

Satin petals sleep
Cradled in soft greenery
Awaiting the dawn

Settling in sleep

Finally, spring thaw
When happiness does abound
Waking that which sleeps
