The Sound of Pages In the Night

Eyelids heavy, pain pressed in a vice Trying to sleep in dark corners of the night Suddenly, the words arrive so precise The hand grabs the pen to take flight Writing words on blank pages with might Heidi Sands 7/25/17 *Placed 7th in Contest: English Quatrain/write as if doing theme at moment
