FOUR A.M. IN THE MORNING,
SHADOWS DANCE ON BROKEN PAVEMENTS
WORLD SLEEPING;
EVEN THE MOON IS YAWNING

STARING OUT AS TIME DOETH CREEP
IN UNISON WITH TAUNTING ECHOS;
‘SLEEP-SLEEP’
YET STILL THE NIGHT BRINGS NO RETREAT

KEEPING ME FROM SLUMBER DEAR
MIND AND BODY EVER RESTLESS,
‘PLEASE, PLEASE’
THESE UNSUNG WORDS CRY; ‘LET ME BE’

SAIL ME INTO SILKY SHORES
LINED WITHIN THE SHROUD OF YOUR ARMS
‘SLEEP-SLEEP’
WORDS FALL AWAY; BUT FUTILE CALLS.

SO STILL THE MOON IS MOCKING ME,
SO NEAR YET FAR IN RESTLESS STATE,
‘SLEEP-SLEEP’
SHE HEARS ME NOT; MY SILENT PLEA.

ANOTHER RESTLESS SOLITUDE,
AS SLUMBER KEEPS ME FROM HER HAVEN
‘NO SLEEP; NO SLEEP’
THE MAGIC OF SLUMBER’S; FOR CHOSEN FEW

SO I MUST WAIT FROM LONE DOMAIN,
FOR  MAGIC CHARMS’ DESCENT ON ME;
‘SLEEP-SLEEP’
I’M TIRED OF CALLING ‘SLUMBER’S NAME.

So many thoughts
begin to race through my head,
too many to allow my brain,
to have a peaceful sleep.

it is like a check off list of life,
the day spent, the day ahead,
was everything accomplished?

then there is the love,
the ache of the one,
who is the thief of our thoughts,

dreams are now an extravagance,
why would one sleep,
for that is time lost even more so...

sorry..your thoughts started my mind ticking!

You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss

Thank you Romantic.

I think you are right. Some of my best work has been contructed when the world sleeps. Just a petty we have tp pay the price for it the enext day! : )

Oh and the thing about thoughts that keep us from sleep; I mean, I always wonder why the world itself does not have insomnia!

Thank you for your comments and taking the time to read my work.

I love the stillness in the mid of night. I truly am a nighthawk ~ problem is, I am also a morning person! Fortunately seem to manage quite well with very little sleep.
I am my most creative when my corner of the world is asleep.

"FOUR A.M. IN THE MORNING,
SHADOWS DANCE ON BROKEN PAVEMENTS
WORLD SLEEPING;
EVEN THE MOON IS YAWNING"

"The moon is yawning" ~ cute!
