The midnight came
With a glowing full moon
Nothing about it tame
Cascading light into my room
The world fell silent
Not a soul in sight
As if every star in the sky was compliant
In this conspiracy of the night
The peace engulfs me
Taking me into a serene state of mind
The sound of the waves of the nearby sea
Finally audible after a day of being undermined
The possibilities endless
Of what I could do with this time
With a holiday from a mind that’s always restless
I could dance, sing and rhyme
The calm lonely night
Threatens to disappear as soon as it began
And as I wake up with the sun shining bright
I wait for the midnight to come again
