A brighter look on sleepless nights

Sometimes day has no signs of beginning

But a bird is already singing

It is dark, yet a lark tries a different song

 

Sometimes  nights  just are a few hours too long

And the birds have all gone for the season

In those nights with no end I just think of you

For it gives sleepless nights a good reason

    I, too, choose to give sleepless nights a reason. Consider the waking hours a special gift, somehow.

    Nice work. I like the last line. It does give sleeplessness a good reason.

    Thinking about the one you love is good. In my sleepless nights I try to just soak in the stillness.

    @ Helena: yes, the best sentences pop up at night, with no pen or paper in sight 🙂

    @ adreamygal : thank you 🙂

    I always wonder how naked, heartfelt lines like “In those nights with no end I just think of you” have such an impact… I like it!
