Midnight

Midnight
By John R. Greenwood
Eyes wide open with the calendar change
Stress and uncertainty overcome basic needs
Thoughts race and wander over days past events
Counting-sheep smile and whisper as they frolic nearby
It’s as if they were happy they’d been called in

  3. Nice, I like the sheep being called in! I like the way you added a playful feel to it~ We all wish it was that easy; my son suffers from insomnia.
