Thoughts as I try to sleep....

Sleep...

Up...Down...Up....Down

Sleep alludes me
as he slumbers beside me 
.
Up...Down...Up...Down


asleep beside me
breathing softly

Up...Down...Up...Down

I can no longer hear
the reassuring sound

In...Out...In...Out

After a moment
our breath in unison

In...Out...In...Out

Oh, to join him in slumber
 alas, I can only watch

Up...Down...Up...Down
