Restless Night

Early in the morning
On the fourth day of the week
All in the house fast asleep
Even  the counting sheep

Doves not cooing
Birds not singing
Moon not shining
I am pining

For the words lost
When the computer went down
Then restarted 
From the ground

Wished words were saved
I thought they expressed
All the pent-up restlessness
From the night that I hadn't slept
