Opposite Rhythm

Sleeping during the day, staying awake at night; opposite rhythm does harm, I gulp down strong coffee... my body shakes like leaves blown by a chilly breeze. I don't wonder where the spotty moon went; I ponder on words: leaking fate to loss... loneliness to cost. Owls look too sad without moon rays; they have no friend... would that be me? They know that opposite rhythm does harm. They feel fear, then flee.

Andrew. Congrats to you with your win. I love the part about owls. I think you had some syllable counts wrong. Otherwise, I bet this would have been in the list of ten!
