how do the restless find sleep?
i can't keep walking the damp streets of this neighborhood forever,
and i can't fidget under the covers until the fabric has worn through.
i am so off balance lately,
and it seems like sleep is the sacrifice to my distress.
but even those who believed in the sun and the stars
knew that there was a limit to how much
they could give away and still embrace life.
i need a way to find some quiet,
especially when the lights go off
and the weary rest on without me.
