Eternal night.

Quiet night,
Awake alone,
It's 1am,
Far from home.

Ticking watch,
Snoring hound,
These and more,
Nocturnal sounds.

Breathing in,
Releasing out,
Icy breath,
Cold beyond doubt.

Staring up,
Blackened sky,
Shining specs,
Catch my eye.

World aglow,
Eerie whiteness,
Casting shadows,
Full moons brightness.

Distant lights,
Suburban shimmer,
Rolling fog,
Lights grow dimmer.

Final look,
Begin to weep,
Nighttimes beauty,
Now eternal sleep.
