Sleep You Do Or Sleep You Don't

Some days I get up early
some days I get up late
some nights I cannot sleep at all
some nights I meditate
at times I dream a little
at times I dream a lot
some nights it's like a movie
with a long entire plot

Some nights I lie there thinking
of things I had not thought
wondering where they came from
these thoughts I hadn't thought
I haven't watched the TV
or listened to the news
nothing's changed, it's all the same
morning, night or noon

I could listen to some music
or start to write a song
but that would keep me up the night
instead of bed where I belong
then a storm might rage the night
and a siren screams on by
and another and another
and then I'm wondering why

But sleep will come and sleep will go
so why worry what to do
you either sleep or sleep you don't
it's not a thing you choose
for someday soon that sleep you seek
will finally yield its due
and you can sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep
for then sleep...is all you'll do
