Thoughts vs Sleep

My thoughts.  Oh these mind stimulating thoughts!
For me, these thoughts of mine start socializing and chatting up a storm over a cup of tea right when I get into bed to sleep the night away.  They're like old girl friends who haven't seen each other in a long time and speed into conversation on a variety of topics catching up like how girls do.  It's like they know that my body is exhausted and I'm getting ready to enter dream land.  They shoot a flare gun into the sky and set off all the alarms with red lights flashing everywhere to warn the others that their owner is about to leave and enter into another world.  They entice me with these beautiful, interesting thoughts to lure me back into reality.  Oh, they set me up...they throw in 2 cups of excitement, 1 cup of interest, 1/2 cup of creativity, and a couple of a drops of inspiration and imagination which goes a long way.  They know me so well.  They know the exact recipe to
catch my attention and stop me from sleeping.
They are endless, you know. When they come, they come full force.  They're swimming, flying, and running 300 mph and I try my best to jot down all that I can so when I wake up, I can share them with the rest of the world.  Now that their mission is accomplished, I shall enter dream world peacefully.
