Nocturnal Reverie

In the silence of the night, I lay awake,

A captive to the thoughts that haunt my mind.

Restless hours, sleep's embrace I forsake.

Moonlight casts shadows, as my fears partake,

Echoing whispers, secrets they unwind.

In the silence of the night, I lay awake.

Dreams elusive, like a distant lake,

My thoughts adrift, wandering undefined.

Restless hours, sleep's embrace I forsake.

Tangled worries, a ceaseless ache,

The weight of the world, upon me assigned.

In the silence of the night, I lay awake.

Minutes turn to hours, time seems to break,

As the night deepens, my rest I can't find.

Restless hours, sleep's embrace I forsake.

Yet amidst the stillness, a chance to remake,

To reflect, to dream, and to realign.

In the silence of the night, I lay awake.

Restless hours, sleep's embrace I forsake.
