Between Two Ticks‏

Watching the clock
Insomnia has set in on this late night
Moonlight sonata plays in the back ground
As I finally blow out the candle light
My nightly ritual
Of meditation is done
I've read all the books in my collection twice already
Emily Dickenson
Robert Frost
Homer
Langeston Hughes
Maya Angelou
And my personal favorite Kahlil Gibran
I am reminded of the old days
As some tv stations still end the broadcast day
With the color screen and the constant beep
Something about that comforts me
And I like it that way
The radio stations begin to play off the cuff music
Sounds that are not of the norm
And some oldies are music to my ears
Making me think of my yester years
As on the inside
I feel warm
The sun light hurts my eyes
As I am greeted by the morn
Another sleepless night
Makes me wish I was never born
