Insomnia

What goes on when you can't sleep?

Insomnia

Eyes adjust and bathe surroundings
Mind takes stock while heart's a-pounding
Stomach rumbles
Fingers fumble
Discomfort is my friend

Now's the time for many queries
Answers, statements flow through freely
Thoughts of people, things and places
Notions, vibes the mind embraces
Ideas to comprehend

Hunger, thirst, they must be sated
Along with yearnings left unstated
Impatient silence
Sleep's defiance
Denial's song won't end
