Night's like these
when I can't sleep,
I think about what could be wrong with me.
I think in rhymes
I think in song
I think as if I'm writing a poem.
I stay awake until the sun comes up
I stay awake until the birds are singing
I stay awake as the moon rotates along
the earth
and though life is going on,
Between the time of dusk and dawn
the world is still
and quiet
and it's just me
thinking.
