Darkness sweeps in on wings
harvest moon, blackbirds sing
slipping into a lucid trance
shadows awaken to dance
three AM wide eyes keep watch
to the tic-tock, tic-tock of the clock
restless night under starlit sky
into a mystic realm dreams fly

That 3 AM moment of insomnia, not haunted just a wonderful moment

DeleteI hate to be awake at that time ~ Love the shadows awakening to dance and darkness sweeping on wings ~
ReplyDeleteI know those restless nights and before I know it the alarm goes off, and it's time to get up and i wonder where the night went? Tic-tock
