Bright wide eyes,
Amongst this darkness is surprise.
"Are you still awake?"
Then silence, no noise to make.
A distant fox howls.
But my eyes continues, they prowl.
I can't get to sleep.
A nocturnal animal I am, you won't hear a peep.
I'm up, I want to run.
Hard beating steps, heavy breaths, and I'm done.
Daylight now it breaks.
To sleep I do finally take.
