It's early in the morning.
All is still and black - so black- outside.
I'm the only one awake
And I awoke because someone cried.
My senses are on alert.
If someone's hurt then let me help out.
I know someone was crying-
That's why I awoke. There is no doubt.
The sobbing seems to have stopped
So I suppose that is a good thing.
I relax on my pillow
To which salty tears still wetly cling.
