Sometime During the Night

Sometime During the Night There was a song, a lovely song That stirred my soul from dreamless sleep, And I arose to follow that sound Sometime during the night. It seemed to be a lonesome bird Who couldn't sleep upon its roost, Who wanted company, as I so often do Sometime during the night. I opened the door to hear more clearly That bird so I thought was calling, The bird I heard was my own heart's desire Sometime during the night

Beautifully sad write, Sunlite. I often have trouble sleeping, myself.

This was beautiful Sunlite, perhaps a bit sad and lonely, but still a mesmerizing poetic thought.
