And none of us <br />could sleep that night <br />We tossed and turned <br />awake, and <br />We thought about <br />how life could be <br />a piercing pain, a knife <br /> <br />In this sleepless night <br />I’ll be your light <br />please come home <br />In the endless sky, <br />how high you fly <br />please come home <br /> <br />In a word without <br />sound, so quiet <br />In a dream, <br />I sleep <br />In a house, <br />I lie awake <br />This sleepless night <br /> <br />In this sleepless night <br />I’ll be your light <br />please come home <br />In the endless sky, <br />how high you fly <br />please come home <br /> <br />When the sun disappeared <br />it burned out of the sky <br />When the moon appeared <br />it rose before my eyes <br />When the snow disappeared <br />it melted from the ground… <br />Oh, what a beautiful night <br /> <br />When the sun disappeared <br />I looked for another light <br />When the moon rose at twilight <br />I was peaceful again <br />When the snow disappeared <br />I looked for another snowflake <br />When the tiny piece of heaven <br />landed softly on my hair <br />My efforts so swiftly rewarded <br />My search so quickly ended <br /> <br />But when you disappeared <br />I stopped looking… <br />Oh, what a sleepless night <br /> <br />In this sleepless night <br />I’ll be your light <br />please come home <br />In the endless sky, <br />how high you fly <br />please come home<br /><br />Maya Hanson (mye3)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleepless-night-34/
