20 minutes of counting sheep

One sheep, two sheep, three

Over the fence and through the cloud

Attempting to fall asleep

Not as easy as it seems

Laying in bed for eternity

Wondering when peace will come

Envisioning my approaching dreams

Trying to find my inner calm

Blankets pulled up

Pillows fluffed

Humming a solemn psalm

Sleepiness climbing

While the stars glisten

The cat meows

The moon smiling

Feeling my eyes shut tight

Letting rest swaddle

Warm and bundled

Finally, my goodnight
