3am

Yesterday lingers, 
still a not-yet-memory,
today waits to start. 
I’m sleepless at 3 a.m.,
adrift in the cracks of time.

I have never been awake at 3 AM so I have no idea what it is like to be up at that hour. Have a nice evening my friend.

Ahh! I dare say you live in a much bigger house than I do. Where I live, the typical apartment is notorious for its small size because space is at a premium in such a densely packed city :)

When I want to listen to music in the evening I go u[stairs to enjoy my CD's.

Peace, quiet, like you have the whole house to yourself. Great for thinking about things, reading, maybe just listening to music, surfing the net, whatever you feel like. But I can only mange to stay up that late once in a blue moon myself. You have a nice evening too, Darlene. Thanks :)
