You know those nights where
sleep eludes you?
When your eyes beg to close
but they choose not to?
My therapist taught me a
little trick to help begin,
That when I lay down just
sit back and count to ten.
I was a little skeptical
at first.
It was then in her office
we began to rehearse.
She told me to lay back
and close my eyes.
And to imagine something
flying through the sky.
I couldn’t think of anything
so I let my imagination soar.
I started counting as asked and encountered
something I’ve never seen before.
A pale beautiful man with crystal eyes
stared at me with a smile on his face.
I hope he didn’t hear like I heard;
that my heart had started to pace.
As soon as I got to ten he had
vanished; disappeared.
So every night before I go to bed
I make sure to count to ten.
Just to get some sleep
and then see him again.

Insomnia. Don’t remind me. Some nights are better than others.
