I can not sleep with thoughts burning through my mind like a forest fire raging through the trees.

With the silence and darkness combined,

You'd think I'd relax enough to fall asleep.



Crazy pictures floating in my delusions

Cradled by clouds so mystifying

It must be a mere illusion

To have a mind so filled with these thoughts,



To obstruct my strong desires with visions

Of harming,

I envision the mythical beasts of folk lore

As the hour tick slowly by.



Morning has come with my crazy thoughts

Still crowding my mind.

My body is drained and tired as another day begins,

As I wish for sleep.
