April Challenge- Day 9 - Insomnia

It’s past midnight

All is quiet

Sights and sounds

Have lost their beep

Eyes droop head is heavy

I think

I should go to sleep

Stretched on bed, I lay

My head on pillow, but

Sleep walks away

Toss and turn, I

Count hundred sheep

But crazy, dancing thoughts

Have a coffee break.

Next-door neighbor

Was rude today

Swearing

Like a pirate at the open seas

Blocked my ears

But picked up few words

Now in loops they play

On my mind

What was the mantra?

I had learnt at yoga camp

Close my eyes

Take deep breath

Meditate

Repeat

Ohm Ganpatey naam

Ohm Ganpatey naam

Ohm Ganpatey naam

Mind drifts off again

Check has bounced

Insufficient funds in bank

Should I borrow or beg,

Or take a loan
Maybe I could rob a bank
but how?

Toss and turn again

Sleep won’t come

I give up

News channel

Can be a great help

Heated discussions

On the speech

Made by Rahul Gandhi

He will win elections, he won’t

He will win, 
No, he won’t

He will, he won’t

He will, he won’t

Don’t know when I fell asleep.
