endless as the night

endless as the darkened sky
as the darkened ceiling
as my lack of thoughts
as i lie here
beneath the nothing
the anything
and everything in between

my mind empty of thought
and full of sound
drifting rudderless on the sea of sleep
yet not sinking into that sweet abyss
where time flashes in a blink of an eye

endless as the darkened ceiling
the darkened room
the darkened mood that starts to settle
swallowing up thought
light
time
till each drags past with brooding certainty
that another lurks behind
and another
and another
a line stretching till the far-off dawn…

drifting rudderless on the sea of sleep
no shore in sight
no rest for the weary
no sign of fellow travelers
just the endless darkened ceiling
endless as the room
endless as my silent thoughts
endless as the night…

Insomnia sucks goat ass.
