A Sleepless Night

Folder: 
Sept. 11

The first day,

of horror,

has yet to pass,

& everyone,

is still in shock,

of what's,

been going on,

in our nation.



As night appears,

fears are near,

I wonder if,

this terrorism,

has ended,

for good & forever,

so no one else,

will die.



Those who won't,

give up hope,

stay outside in darkness,

working to find,

those who are still,

living under,

the horrible mess.



Most families,

& friends,

can't sleep tonight,

they are afraid,

to fear the worst,

of their loved ones',

not being found tonight.



But I alone,

know how they,

feel tonight,

for I too,

am having,

a sleepless night,

worrying & fearing,

like crazy of,

what has happened.



I can only write,

what is going,

through my head,

just let myself,

get tired of writing,

and thinking hard,

then all of a sudden,

I crash sound asleep,

where there's not,

a peep inside me,

nor anyone else.



Tonight this is,

a sleepless night,

for you & me,

so maybe we,

can dream,

hope & peace.
