Lay down, close your eyes, dont make a peep, count sheep until you fall asleep. But what if you don't? You toss and turn left and right and get up with the same thoughts you lay with. Wondering why do I think of the most random things, the most frightening things when all day they don't cross paths? Could all the souls of the sleepless feel the burdens of one another? Could the stirs we have in our beds be the thoughts of one who thinks as me? Thoughts that go in flight into the night and descend into the mind of one who can relate the most? And when the lids get heavy and the tossing and turning ceases, could these nightowl's company be what makes us peaceful?

The Nightowls
Lay down, close your eyes, dont make a peep, count sheep until you fall asleep. But what if you don't? You toss and turn left and right and get up with the same thoughts you lay with. Wondering why do I think of the most random things, the most frightening things when all day they don't cross paths? Could all the souls of the sleepless feel the burdens of one another? Could the stirs we have in our beds be the thoughts of one who thinks as me? Thoughts that go in flight into the night and descend into the mind of one who can relate the most? And when the lids get heavy and the tossing and turning ceases, could these nightowl's company be what makes us peaceful?
