The Midnight Hour

The clock strikes twelve, and I lie awake Sleep, has once again refused my company Shadows of my day keep coming back to me The bonds of thought that hold me I cannot break What is that line between yesterday and today The magical moment that marks passing time I bow to that which I am not meant to control The midnight hour, the dark hour so sublime 11/29/15

Barbara, I believe this is pretty much my favorite one on the list (well ONe of the best, in my opinion). I just love the theme and the way you did it with that quatrain form. It's the way I enjoy writing when I am inspired. Congrats for your win.
