Night Owl Ways

I gotta give up these night owl ways,
wandering through words and thoughts,
rambling as I sit and wonder where the
night time goes.
Silence shrouds me and covers me with
whispers of inspiration.
I know I will pay in the early morning dawn
as I stumble down for my morning shower.
Even the animals look at me reprovingly
as I sit here and weave through
the creativity of those I have grown
to love.
I gotta give up these night owl ways,
resisting bed like a small child begging
for just one more story.  
My eyes and mind alert and ready to build
just one more idea, just one more plan.
I know that it is only the fools who remain
with me at this hour, those who seek the likes of me.
Cradled in the calm of blackness through the
window, I feel the blanket of night envelope me.
I gotta give up these night owl ways,
a time will come when I will long for sleep but
that time is not now.
The quiet is my companion and has become the
muse of my mind.
