N is for Night




I used to look forward
To falling 
Between the sheets,
Almost instantly
Swept away to
Someplace dark and deep.
But now I have
Forgotten.
Outside the streetlights
stare unblinking
into the black sky
While I lie suspended 
Eyes open
Waiting 
For that old friend
To sweep me
Back into his arms.

    This is beautiful, Kate. I hope you're able to get the sleep you need. I had this kind of night last night. It's horrible.

      We could have been up planning world domination together (although we'd be too tired the next day to pull it off).

    I like this a lot. I also have a hard time sleeping sometimes.

    Lovely! I like night, but that is possibly because I'm having a love affair with my bed. I love sleeping. :)
