Notes About The Poem

In The Quiet Of The Night

In the quiet 
Of the night,
Where darkness
Steals the
Need for sight,
When most 
Are asleep, 
I lie awake,
Waiting for the 
Dawn to break,
Long past trying 
To count sheep,
My brain’s shallow, 
But my thoughts 
Are deep,
My mind’s trying 
To put the 
World to rights,
But I think it 
Might take….
Several nights!
