Cant sleep

I lay awak in bed at night
counting the hours until there is light

i try to think about anything
to occupy my mind until the morning

i look out the window into the emptiness
look for anything but only finding darkness

except for the glow of the light post near by
and the shinning of the stars way up in the sky

everything is sleeping, even the trees
night is a time where everything's at ease

and though there's silence all around
i cannot sleep, nor make a sound

so here i sit waiting for light
for the begining of day and the ending of night
