sleep?

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.
