A Sleepless Night 2 Poem by Billy Loving

In my bed I lay
Trying to put an end to the day
I toss, I turn
Energy still left to burn
As the chimes begin to tone
My mind continues to roam
A dog begins to bark
Car passes by
Another position, I do try
Thoughts whirl in my head
Creaking of the bed
I hear the ticking of the clock
As my thoughts, I try to block
Bed, so soft and warm
While to my body it conforms
I begin to yawn
As I wait for the breaking of the dawn
Finally, much to my delight
A peaceful slumber overtakes the night
