You Can't Change the Weather

The winds begin to howl,
Yet for this night owl,
The pressure to be a morning fowl
Just makes me scowl.

Deep breath, body relaxes.
Don't worry about taxes,
Just watch as the moon waxes.

But alas, clouds leave the moon obscured.
How absurd
But rest assured,
In the past you have endured.

My mind begins to wander,
And ponder
Just how much time I squander.

Breathe in, breathe out.
Refocus that doubt,
For now is not the time to work out
The problems that make you pout.

Finally on the verge of sleep
Not a peep or a beep
And I'm done counting sheep.

Suddenly, a quick jerk!
Have I gone berserk?
Nah, but it does irk
Because in the morning I have work.

The clouds have grown ominous
I lie in bed with somnolence
Yet to be honest,
My mind is just obnoxious.

It's always darkest before the dawn, I yawn
...Said the moron
Who also couldn't sleep early on.

A crack of thunder
Like the sky is about to sunder.
And I wonder,
When I will slumber?

On the verge of losing my mind,
Yet I find that the storm left behind
Clouds that are silver-lined. 

Outside is silent, 
Leaving a peaceful climate
The moon with a halo quite vibrant.
