Book Cover & Preview Text
Insomnia Small voices That follow through the night, Robbing dreams And making sleep Impossible. What form of light Will drive you from The darkened corners Of my room And return peace To this tortured mind? Siege This war locked city Shroud in cloud Grayest morning Of my lifetime So far away, Your light. Bend your thoughts to me, Divide this Sea Of Silence Like Moses split the Red. Cross over to me now For all of Pharaoh’s armies Are upon me And I am at great need.
