Eye lids slowly shutting as I sit and
early hours of the day roll forth while
thoughts keep me from sleep
Familiar green eyes reflect back at me
evoking a beseeching gaze
I cannot explain
How I wish I knew

notes unable to reach the desired melody playing across my mind

It seems,
lately,
nothing seems to reach

and when I know
will I know?
it is impossible
for a moment
for the time
this time
