Insomnia...

I long for the time,
When I can rest my eyes,
and not count for how many hours...

Drift in/out of sleep---
All mine to keep...
none lost to undue anxiety...

No more waking to check;
how much time I've got left,
[...and has the clock, even been set?]

What a pleasant thought---
...a luxury forgot,
I've not had enough,
...in quite awhile!
