Deep into the depth of the night, sprawled on my bed.

   Drifting off seems so impossible; the night wouldn't let me tell my goodbyes

   The silence made me disconcerted. I cowered to my bed for some relief.

   I could hear the crickets chirp; the croaking frogs are hard to miss.They served as a pastime from the fear trying to set in.

   Frustration took over me so I took to my feet and ventured towards my window to catch some air but something caught me instead.

   Since old have i not seen the moon this big, bold and bright. For the night, it's form was noteworthy.

   A wow it stole from me; a smile it gave in return.I stared unbroken till I felt tears came to my eyes.

   For a moment, as though a whisper, I heard the dark blue void call to me as the fresh breeze caresses my face.

   A yawn escaped through my oral fissure accompanied with afew more teardrops. A firm refusal to the invite.

   I could feel the world resting on my feeble lids. I withdrew back into the cozy company of my bed and drew the sheet over myself

   Tada!! Tada!! blared my alarm. It reads 11:59. I landed a thud on it as i drift off..
