One o’clock in the Morning
It’s one o’clock in the morning
as I wait for the Advil to kick in.
One o’clock in the morning
as I contemplate my life.
I have these bouts of sleeplessness
I don’t remember having in my youth.
Maybe it’s my aging body.
Maybe it’s my over stimulated mind.
Maybe I’ve seen too much.
Maybe I think too much.
You’d think I’d be wiser by now.
You’d think I’d have learned
to let what will be, to be.
But, here I am, with my mind full
and my body restless –
One fifteen and counting….
