To Sleep

There once was a time I went to sleep

Through consciousness I slipped so deep

But this was so very long ago

So a sleep I may never again know

Now I just fall into slumber

Lackluster and sans-sleep's wonder

What I wouldn't give to return

To a sleep devoid of toss and turn.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About when things change and when you have to go on even though it's not the same.

Your ability to write poetry is truly a gift. You can achieve things only few can, but many hope to someday grasp. This poem is one that I can relate to. Too bad we can't all go back to the days when all you had to worry about was what you were having for lunch. Keep up the good work. ;)
