Up Late

up late can't sleep

thinking about what is and will be

thinking about today and tomorrow

who and what will we be?

 

up late can't sleep

fearing for an uncertain future

fearing the unprejudiced equalizer Fate

who lurks beyond what my mortal eyes can see.

 

up late can't sleep

hoping that he'll think about me

hoping that, just maybe, our souls are linked

that maybe something greater, together, we can be.

 

up late can't sleep

wondering how and why i exist

wondering how and why i persist

to ask myself questions unanswerable by me.

 

such late night musings always expose the heart,

you see?

and so on this bed i lie:

up late can't sleep.
