“NO MORE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND NIGHTMARES” in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

She longs for peace
like the soft wind’s breeze
to help her sleep
cast off the creeps

She longs for dreams
of slow river streams
tired of the heavy flood
or the coldness in her blood

However,
these days ain’t better
She needs to stay awake
before her next move to take

For now,
she has to put up
with all that she’s got
