I haven’t slept much lately
I never had much rhythm
Circadian or otherwise
Isn’t it wrong for a living thing to prefer the night
The night isn’t dark here though
Not as foreboding as it once was in ages past
It’s teeth lost to mans relentless desire
Neon excites the mist
Its buzzing light washes over everything
Even defeating the stars
Alls quiet in the worlds shadow
People are sleeping on their problems
The need for rest overcoming even the most troubled of minds
There are others like me
Tirelessly preparing the city for dawn
We didn’t have to experience today
The others will capture tomorrow for us

hey Zall...night owl serenity here--

and yes...oh YES...I love the nighttime---it's like during the day, there's this psychic buzz of worry that I can FEEL...and then? I can feel my little piece of the world going to sleep, and I swear, it's as though an invisable foot is removed from my chest...you captured that enormous sense of relief in this piece.

Enjoyed much. (obviously, grinning)

I am off to wait for midnight, once again.

Thanks for the read and the comradery.

yes, Aaron
we are a breed
apart
not amused by the bustling
exposed
but entranced by the mysteries
unseen
the waiting tension of
unknown
the insectdrone
of moonglow
the cold silver friends
of lightyears
I like the way you write

Thanks very much guys, I do nearly all my writing at night.

In London, a nice long walk in the early hours can always inspire me.

Be are a breed apart for certain.

dear Zall,
for most of human history, i guess, at least until edison came along, night-time was a scary and dangerous place. i'm glad to live in a time when that is no longer true!

Aaron,
Throw me some woods
and a moonlit night,
maybe some rain?

And I will be
at peace.

Wrote a poem one time depicting how the night hours seem to "AWAKEN" some of us. I know that there are times I just seem to be bouncing off the stars myself!!! This was a perfect way for me to read tonight, since I am in one of those "night moods". Was a wonderful read for my frame of mind and so wonderfully written. Thanks!!!!! Sleep well.....yeah right!!!!

We cant waste a third of our lives asleep now can we?

Night for me has always been a special time for me, where I can look at the world from a different perspective.

Thank, you all for your kind comments.
