Long Windy Night

Why the night’s so silent like an sad empty room? No voice can be heard just constantly gloom Where all the people go? They are sleeping and drowning slow So tell me what I should know Why can’t I shut my eyes to sleep tonight? I can hear the sound of the wind Like it’s trying to impress you Without being seen I can see the stars are hiding Behind those hazy clouds Sparkling like they’ve always been The moon shines mysteriously But the beam calms me down And let me have this lonely night I can’t sleep and this mind won’t stop thinking I keep on humming in the place where I’m sitting I’m so tired like I just need a deep sleep But how can I sleep when my heart is weary Can somebody help me… I looked upon the moon asking for guidance Make me feel drowsy so I can rest this aching heart Tell me it’s alright to lay my head on the ground Let me rest my tired eyes And let me forget about life for a while Sent me to a place where everything is beautiful Sing me a lullaby so mending so peaceful In this long windy night Let me rest my tired eyes And forget about life for a while

I just can't believe how fast this week has gone by. I am enjoying reading the many magnificent poems here at PoetrySoup this morning. I am glad yours was among the ones I was able to read Mony. I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with sunshine and lots of inspiration. Love, Carol
