Let's rest for a moment
Think about what just happened
Slight before that movement
Before all that went wrong.

Before I go to bed
Let's give clock some rest
To reflect what passed
When I ignored what happened last

Let's just think nothing
Heretofore it starts again
I should not destroy what's coming
Ere long it began.

I know it's difficult
Because clock just clicked
We lost the race
And that moment just slipped.

it is the portion of night
when you have this tendency to write
so many feelings to fight
and many memories of delight.

words flown
and seeds of thoughts were sown
Many memories to mourn
still some happiness are clowned.

it is the portion of night
where our stars shine
moon fills up with light
and dreams are mine.

so at this point in night
sleep sits beside me with pride
talks about life beyond my sight
after all of this I silently cried.
