night shift

hush now, the clock is ticking
lights are dim
in windows flicker
shadows pierce
the fog surrounding
snow glistens
reflecting light
where darkness snickers
hush now the clock is ticking

hush now, the world is sleeping
my mind is racing
rest is fleeting
even the moon
with clouds is covered
and stars above
have disappeared
the day is over
hush now the world is sleeping

hurry now, it's almost morning
the sun is peeking
straining slowly
against the backdrop
of drooping eyelids
and pounding rhythms
almost ready
silence reigning
hurry now, it's almost morning
