.
I woke in the middle of the night
The sky was filled with the light
Of an awesome full moon
It was as though the day was
Slowly closing from east to west
I heard the distant whistle
of a freight train
I brushed the sandman away
Picked up my pad and pen
Sat for a while, gazing out the window
I listened for any night sounds
And wondered where my
Written words would take me
