I can’t sleep tonight.
I can’t sleep tonight.
I can’t sleep tonight, and I hear the gentle “tick, tock, tick, tock” coming from my clock, telling me there’s not a moment to waste, get on with the haste, for each tick and each tock will never repeat.
I can’t sleep tonight.
I replay memories in my head, reliving and laughing all over again.
I can’t sleep tonight.
I know luck is on my side, I know I’m so well off.
I have love, I give love, and I get love.
I thank the world for everything I’ve given it, taken from it, and gotten through it.
I thank the world, in all it’s green and blue.
I thank the world for making life hard.
I thank the world because it’s nothing if not true.
I thank myself for not looking back, for playing every card.
I can’t sleep tonight.
I hear the silence of the night. I feel the misunderstood darkness.
I see the invisible.
I hear the unheard.
I feel what some have not felt.
I feel truly loved, truly accepted, truly appreciated, if only by a few.
I feel mutuality.
I feel the world sleeping, preparing for a new day.
I sense the coming of the sunshine.
I sense the emotions of the world, felt by only you, accompanied by trillions.
Now the water is flat-headed, cool and calm, but I sense the waves coming when the sun rises.
It’s a great day to be alive living and loving on a day like today.
I can hear the gentle “tick, tock, tick, tock.”
Not a moment to lose, and I embrace it.
