When I cannot sleep sometimes I write poetry to help clear the thoughts. It usually helps me relax and get drowsy. This was written over a period of different days when falling asleep was difficult.

Falling Asleep by SE Allen
Falling
Falling through the abyss
Quiet, soundlessly adrift
Swiftly
Memories move swiftly past
Moments, that didn’t last
Quietly
Not a whisper spoken
Problems, quietly forgotten
Ebbing
Gently drifting away
Ebbing, sleep still at bay
Swaying
Pain won’t subside
Swaying, body aches and cries
Gently
Soul begins to calm
Gently, with no harm
Peacefully
Mind quiets the frenzy state
Dreams peacefully escape
Resting
Body and soul resting at last
Today has finally passed
