It's 4am and I can't sleep

It's not working, counting sheep

I beg to drift off into the deep

Where the secrets of my heart, my soul will keep

Into the great beyond I wish to leap

And the joys of its mystery, my brain will reap

When there's nothing left, back down I'll leap

All these secrets, my soul will keep

Expanding my world, going high, going deep

I think it's time to count some sheep

Maybe now I'll finally sleep


The author's comments:

I really enjoyed writing this one. I thought it was kind of creative the way I mirrored the endings of each line from the first half to the second half of the piece. Maybe it was creative, maybe it wasn't. I'm really not sure, but anyways I really enjoyed this piece and I hope you do too!
