Insomnia

There I was,
Immensely saturated, drunken with slumber,
Wide awake,
Body spasms,
Heavy twitching eyes,
Stiff neck, shoulders, back,
Resisting the to sleep,
Rebelling my own innermost needs,
Just for another moment of Peace….

Just another moment for me,
Long after all who Live with me and share my space,
Went to their quarters to rest,
Just another moment of time for me
To savor, though sleeping is a gift as well…
I am awake, but tired almost beyond recognition,
Feeling the tug upon my heart strings,
Of something new arriving,
Only to realize yet again the habit to repeat,
Oh Thank you Insomnia,
For serving me another delusion,
Of a blessing when sleeping in my bed,
And taking care of my body,
Would be a better blessing….
To break this, 
I have to be stronger than your pull,
But for now you, win… as I am still up 
Pass 1am, arguing with myself
The importance of sleep…
