Sleepless

Sleepless in the grasp of night The dream of day now gone from sight Dark engulfs both sight and sound The night world now alive abounds A ray of light pierces the air The moon reflects the suns harsh glare And peering down through inky sky Pinholes of stars now greet the eye Streetlights stand like sentries old To guard the streets for few, the bold Who venture out into the place That most of us will rarely taste The night world with it's creatures fair That roam the now still quiet air The last to see the dying day The first to welcome the new to stay While distant lands in sun abide In grip of dark here now we slide And lie in bed until the time The day returns and light we find
