In the quiet of the night...

In the quiet of the night

When the stars dance

In the sparkle of twilight and

Watchful moon glance

-

In the ethereal darkness

As the nocturnals prance

The serenity, the tranquillity

I should be in the arms of sleep

and counting the sheep who leap

-

Not awake

-

Not wide awake

-

Redigesting my past regrets

Reliving my past mistakes

Choking on my past neglects

Fighting usual past suspects

Finding myself stuck

Between the night hag and the nagging

Between the nightmare and the slagging

-

Dulling it all out

Is easier said than done

Forgiving myself

Is easier said than done

When sleep comes, all is black

Until the nightmare comes

-

Then

-

In the quiet of the morning

As the birds start to sing

In the light of a new sun

What will the day bring?
