Student Poetry This Project WR245 More Home		Insomnia Linda Appel Sleep does not come to me tonight I lie awake in dark contentment Stars glow faint on the bedroom ceiling As I listen to you breathe. I lie awake in dark contentment I nest into your warmth As I listen to you breathe, Deep inspirations flutter in my ear. While I nest into your warmth My mind floats free and wide Deep inspiration flutters in the air And words begin to play with me. My mind floats free and wide Stars glow fainter on the bedroom ceiling And poems begin to form inside Sleep will not come to me tonight. Linda Knowlton Appel was born in 1939.
