A Cold Moment

Soon the night lulls the world
to sleep, but I stay awake, curled
thoughts and tingling nerves
noticing every lines and curves.

Somehow I can't fall asleep,
and I hear the nature's somber, deep
song--crickets chirping, the rain
kissing the Earth, glooming with pain.

Every sound, my heart pounds
louder, beats faster; I am drowned
by the nightmares of the shadows,
restless feelings--a harsh river flows.

Every inch of my skin freeze,
as the spinning blades sneeze
a harsh draft of chill; heat leaves,
even as I roll down my sleeves.

I'm more than awake, my body
full of energy, with my eyes groggy.
As the world slumbers in eerie stillness,
a cold moment hugs me to darkness.
