Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Free verse

In the Middle of the Night

Pondering 
A wonderful process
Wondering in the middle of the night.
Discovering!
Deeply viewing.
Thinking microscopically.
Imagining intricately.
Analyzing philosophically.
Outside, stars twinkle.
The moon glows bright.
Bird chirps remain mute.
Lonely crickets seranade darkness.
The morning waits.
Inside, children sleep.
Quietness invites insight.
Creativity abounds.
Amid all of this thinking,
God inspires.
