Suspended

That space in-between
neither awake nor sleep
Waiting, suspended
in limbo
yearning for the deep
 
The mind in overdrive
an uneasy qualm
Tossing and turning
with body contorting  
what medicine will calm?
 
Imagination racing
I say numbers backwards
and count some sheep
After trying all of the above
I did drift off to sleep

Merril is hosting D'Verse Poets Pub tonight and has promoted us with a time of Transition.
I have taken a poem that I wrote in 2019 and reworked it a little.  It fits the prompt.
