(Haiku Series)
The sandman has left.
Leaving me bitter despair.
How can I sleep now?
–
Counting sheep won’t work.
Even counting large numbers.
Something has to work.
–
Try a Benadryl.
They sometimes make me tired.
Ugh I’m still awake.
–
Try and edible.
Slow down my brain and relax.
Relaxed, but awake.
–
Try melatonin.
They help me get tired fast.
If they work, that is.
–
I’ll just clear my mind.
Not a thought whatsoever.
Mind is now empty.
–
Gently meditate.
See everything and nothing.
Then let it all pass.
–
Thinking of methods.
To end my insomnia.
Have made me sleepy.
–
I’m almost drifting.
Embracing dark nothingness.
Sleepy bliss awaits…
