As Midnight Creeps

As midnight creeps again

I keep on thinking when

that time when sleep was

bliss, and peace I always

felt...



As midnight creeps again

I keep on thinking when

that time when all I do

is close my eyes and say

my little prayers too, and

peace I always felt...



As midnight creeps again,

I fear the thought of me

counting all my sheep, some

falling from the fence,

a hundred I have reached,

and yet, I'm so awake...

I've had some nights like this especially when not feeling well. You toss/turn repeatedly get up and down and it seems you can't get comfortable no matter what you do then finally fall off to sleep. I call those nuisance times..
