Midnight

Asleep or awake, and depending upon

where you are, Midnight could be a

curse or a blessing. In either case, it

has been a day, a done deal, one of

many, rain or shine, a mixed bag filled

with despair and or delight. Midnight,

the midway safe-haven harbor of seconds

between a yesterday fully lived or barely

survived, and a brief respite before the dire

or more promising tomorrow. Midnight,

a reflective hour in darkness before the

dawning of light. It is what it is, and for

now, tonight, it’s 10 PM, two hours remain

in the day before the strike of Midnight.

Yesterday and tomorrow waver side-to-side

on the pinhead of your mind. You retire.

Sweet Dreams!
