Insomniac

It's late, past midnight, by the way
And too early to begin another day!
I take a deepest yawn
While waiting for a morning to dawn!

It’s too late to turn to a sweet deep sleep
And too early for a journey long and steep!
Time seems to be stagnant and immobile
And the night ahead seems a long, long mile!

I can't roll back to an evening previous
The time gone awry isn’t as precious;
Nor even to the next morning I can leap
I'm trapped in time as the hours heap!

The night stands motionless to haunt me
Shadows in the dark are none to see!
No life is around me, and closed too are the bars
A nightmare! I’m left counting my lucky stars!
