My Midnight Hymn

As the night wind rattles my windows

With the starless evening sky

I wrap myself with a blanket

And close my tired tired eyes

I pray that sleep comes soon

For I no longer want to think

Hoping for empty thoughts

For my worries to let me be

I wish for a dreamless slumber

To venture into nothingness

For when I open my eyes

I'll see how I made such a mess

So sleep please visit me now

I don't want to wait long

This is my evening prayer

This is my midnight song
