counting sheep.

counting sheep. a poem by sandra.some nights
like tonight
sleep hides from me
I look everywhere
but it becomes
the ultimate game
of hide and seek
all the sheep
leap the fence
one two three
but even they
do not help me
find my lost sleep
…
some nights
like tonight
I find you inside
at last
peace is mine
I close my eyes
and one…
………….two…

About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

    Absolutely beautiful, my Dear. I am so sorry I have been absent. I promise we will get that drink very soon. I’m looking so forward to it. 🙂
