This is a lament for those restless, sleepless nights of anxious thoughts and ruminations.
My thoughts are swimming laps in my head, back and forth as I lay in bed. Sleep is hovering just out of reach, back and forth like waves on a beach. Oceans of worries roll in like a tide, back and forth, eyes open wide. No lullaby, no gentle song, my thoughts keep me awake all night long.
