Alone In The World

It's 4am.
I'm awake.
It feels like I'm alone in the world.
Not a sound outside except for the rain.
I could be the the only person in the world.
The dawn chorus begins to inform my senses of life outside.
As I drift in and out of consciousness,
A wave of sleep and energy,
I start to imagine the day ahead.

My Autumn Song

The bars of sunlight shine through gaps in the trees, I'm crunching through the orange, red and brown of the fallen autumn leaves.

Two AM

For some reason I can't sleep. It's two am in the morning to where my life happens and my mind is still wandering to different places.

Goodbye (Auburn Sky) By Dante Pomells

He sat and marvelled at an Auburn sky,. as one day comes another dies,. The day is gone We'll never get it back,. As one man cheers another cries,. Yet He possesses everything we lack,.

I love that "only person in the world" feeling. As though there are infinite possibilities all for only you. It's a magical time. Good write :)
