Midnight!
The late moon’s rise–
Mail train’s rhythmic passing by.
Sleepless
I loiter. Loiter.
Wander wander.
Wonder why.
Flickering streetlamps
Blinking winking
Silent silent music mine.
Footsteps, heartbeats
keeping time.
Thoughts rewind.
Past midnight
And sleepless I.

Beautiful poem. Since my mother has passed, this poem really speaks to how I feel. Thank you.
I’m touched that my poem meant something so deep and personal to you and i’m so sorry to hear about your mother.Thank you for your kind words Stephanie. I truly appreciate it.
Sorry, it took me so long to reply. Google hid the email from me and I just found it accidentally while cleaning out mailboxes.
