Insomnia Poem by Martin Greyford

It's all dark outside, the moon isn't yet out
And people around me are all asleep
Except for me, still gazing at the ceiling
And the lit bulbs of the house.
Tried all the bedtime lullabies
But nothing worked only making myself to be more active.

I walked outside in my pyjamas
And sat on the door looking at the starry sky.
The moon gracefully smiled at me
And the stars graciously shone brightly.
She kept smiling at me
And made me forget the misery of going to bed.

The wind whispered in my ears
"Go to bed" but the way the sky looked
And her smile made me pay a deaf
Ear to him as he kept on whispering.
Time didn't really matter to me on
That night I failed to sleep.

I never noticed that it was dawn breaking.
The moon disappeared and the stars
Stopped beautifying the sky.
I never dozed or felt tired just active
Like always during the day.
The day started and I prepared myself for work.
