I had tried to sleep,
could settle on nothing
and fell, restless and wild
on the root and branch
snipping
the life from the slippery shadows
of night
as screams from the cold leaves
rose and fell
hunted for the white moon
even as one by one
things of darkness
bristling and growing
settle in their place.

Although they have not come for a long while, here is a nod to the sleepless nights of restless mind and hammering heart. Thank you to Poetry Outdoors for this prompt.
