sleep won't come
maybe I scared it away
with my thoughts of you
or was it the coffee?
sleep won't come
I should have gone
upstairs and lights off rest
but no, I'm here keyboard my friend
always the night
inspires me
think it's the silence
that closeness to death
the feeling that soon
a new day will be born
and sometimes the thought
that there's few up like me
and that is so nice
to be so unique
to win one more hour
out of this short existence
sleep won't come
why should I push it?
when I feel the need
I'll go for my cushion
but now it feels right
to be in the shadows
alone with my thoughts
and the haunting silence
the inspiring glow
of the nearing sunrise
to be with myself
and no interruptions
dead silence...
and sleep won't come.
