Sleepless

My mind always wanders And sometimes gets lost My mind always wanders And sometimes gets lost In its own branches Hardly to grasp Too many thoughts To follow them all Each answer calls A new question My mind always takes me On journeys alone Through picture storms I am thrown back and forth When my focus is slipping My mind runs away from me The harder I try to hold it It takes me away Deprived of sleep Mind like a hurricane Fragments of thoughts Swirling in circles Each impression like a tickle Rain fills the riverbed Rarely a trickle But most times a current I wish I could focus more I wish my thinking was clearer But my mind always flows In an elusive trickle I wish I had it once quiet Wish for the voices to stop But the noise swells on Like a waterfall Sleepless Mind like a hurricane In the quietest place I hear the loudest screams Sleepless Mind like a hurricane A cascade of ideas Dragged down the drain An empty canvas Can be a movie scene In the quietest place I hear the loudest screams It won't let me fade away Won't let me sleep an urge is always there Sleepless Some days I feel blessed But mostly it's a curse My mind always shows me Picturesque landscapes It loves to abduct me To brighter days Paints me pictures in colors I have never seen Each time the daily routine Threatens to sink me in I wish I could focus more I wish my thinking was clearer But my mind always flows In an elusive trickle I wish I had it once quiet Wish for the voices to stop But the noise swells on Like a waterfall I wish I could focus more I wish my thinking was clearer But my mind always flows In an elusive trickle I wish I had it once quiet Wish for the voices to stop But the noise swells on Like a waterfall Sleepless Mind like a hurricane In the quietest place I hear the loudest screams Sleepless Mind like a hurricane A cascade of ideas Dragged down the drain Sleepless Mind like a hurricane In the quietest place I hear the loudest screams
