The Shine
In my nocturnal connection I live between two worlds
the one that is past and the one that has just begun
the sound of crickets tells me I'm not quite awake
but the glare of the screen tells me, I am not alseep
Forgoing the dream that was meant to be complete
I chose to knit the word before the break of dawn
not a sound do I hear cept' the sound of my fingers
as they meet the plastic keys of my computer screen
No happy thoughts come my way no sad ones either
though my pillow whispers alone I'm not discontent
for theres a beautiful lampost staring out my window
and it is eager to read what I am planning to soon seed
In my nocturnal visits I encounter the mainstay of wake
and only the crickets know where I am, for me thats OK
for soon the world will be abuzz with all kinds of action
and I will have to say goodbye, to the nights refraction.
