Tired Eye’s That Won’t Sleep

Eyes That Won't Sleep

Tired and worn, I lay in bed,

But sleep won’t come, it dances instead.

Thoughts swirl like leaves on a gentle breeze,

I close my eyes, but find no ease.

The night is quiet, the moon shines bright,

I wish for dreams to hold me tight.

But here I am, awake and still,

Searching for calm, a moment to chill.

So I count the stars, one by one,

Hoping for sleep before night is done.

With each gentle sigh, I wait and pray,

That soon my eyes will drift away.
