Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk,
either for skipping rocks on the beach or looking for a
way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about
something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about
more and more things you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until
you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps, and can only sit
and stare at the gentle movements of the ocean waves or security guards,
thinking too hard bout too many things to do anything else.

― Lemony Snicket, The End
There's no special time-frame or a slot in your time table when you sit down and think. Its like a biological, not everyone thinks, natural process that goes on in background all the time. I do it all the time... knowingly or unknowingly the process is on. Even between the time when I'm half awake and half asleep just when I'm almost sure that day is off and the veiled Peter Pan in me can escape in my perfect Neverland. A thought, out of nowhere, closes the doors of my dreamy land away and leaves me digressing in the boondocks of my unceasing thoughts.
I almost slept
may be seen a dream or two
and then it happened
Out of nowhere
that midget thought
unloaded in my head.
It was already booming
with the debris
I collected that day
No more, my stack's
full I pray.
Then I start talking
to no one, but Me.
Too ergodic
all that clutter
makes no sense.
to Me.
Then I cling on to one
out that mesh of mess
I pick one..
about the days gone by
or time yet to come.
Basked in those
misty thoughts
my sleep is long gone
twisting and curling
on my bed
euphony is on.
I can think so much
may be it never ends
when this night ends
there's another at hand.
I sleep with one
and I wake with one
with everything on
it goes on and on.
I dread of the day
if it ever stopped
I'll be awake
for forever, glancing
wild blue yonder
or will I sleep it all ?
Those nights are sure a pain, thoughts always seem to come just when you get to sleep too, hmph! haha
