Awaiting Sunrise

 Long after a dramatic sunset
restless lying in my bed
tomorrow planned in my head
contemplating the day’s regrets

Tonight, sleep is eluding me
yearning to drift into a dream or two
darkness haunts with thoughts of you
only sunrise will set me free

  6. Ah yes....insomnia....and finally sleep. And I do think that watching the sunrise, can erase the uneasiness and remind us of the hope a new day brings!

  8. I know that feeling, when the thoughts wont stop and you cant sleep. I love that, with the sunrise, there is a brand new day and we can start again.
