11:21 (10/4/09)
I sit up in bed unable to sleep.
Outside cars pass by on the road below me.
The night is cool and I am warm under the covers.
Sleep has eluded me thus far.
I rose from the bed.
Repeating some of my night time routine
has not left me feeling any closer to sleep.
Walking through he hall to the living room
the floor creaks under my steps.
In the living room I find this tablet,
then the pen I was given as a gift.
I return to my room in darkness.
I turn the lamp on next to my bed
to begin writing.
I am warm again under the covers.
The cars continue to pass by outside.
Sleep is closer now.
I set down the tablet & pen
then turn out the light
Hopefully to begin the journey of dreams.
