Insomniac’s Reward.
Insomniac’s Reward Lying on my back, looking up at stars That twinkle high above my head That peer and wink at me As I lie upon my bed. The joy of Velux windows That reveal the universe When curled up under blankets On a frosty Winter night. Welcoming a distant light That’s travelled many years Past many suns and stars To arrive with me at last. When my mortal journey’s over It’s to stars I will return While lying on my bed I see My future destiny. It’s not heaven, merely better, Where dwells what’s left of me When no one’s counting hours When time has ceased to be. When sky has clouded over The stars seem gone to sleep But they’re always there I know A constant watch they’ll keep. When sleep escapes on lonely nights When some start counting sheep I just turn to twinkling friends Who appear above my sheets.
