Insomnia was definitely something that plagued me thru the winter of 2004-2005. Now, spring has come... into Michigan as well as into my life...

But here, is something that I wrote on a long endless winter night some months ago...

Insomnia

Am I unable to sleep
or running away from dreams...
The later it gets
the longer the night seems...

Am I filled with emptiness
or overwhelmed with everything...
Sometimes having it all
can feel like having nothing...

Am I waiting in hope
or despaired of waiting...
There may never be an end
or maybe no beginning...

I look in the mirror
but do I like what I see...
Am I spending time
or is time spending me...
