sleepless nights

there are some nights
when you can't sleep. there's not
a drowsy bone
in your body.
you are stone cold sober
and awake.
thoughts rumble through
your mind.
a freight train of yesterdays,
bang against the rails.
the wind blows outside.
trees bend and speak
loud sighs.
there is nothing you can do,
but let it pass,
to lay there and let
the night move on. these
waves of rumination,
this dark energy from someone
that you know,
holding on to your heart
and mind.
at last when morning arrives,
the night will go.
