Insomniac

He slept

Or tried to sleep

Eyes closed

Mind ran

With fresh thoughts

Some random, some deliberate

Branching into hundred paths

Some dead ends, some loops

Some ending in forks

Seconds to minutes, hours went on

He got up

Went out

To count the stars

Was found in the morning

Confused and dazed

Searching the grass

For fallen stars
