Am I running out of steam yet?
No, but I'm almost out of waking minutes
The sandman approaches
Though I have words left to say
So when the zees fall upon me
I shall no doubt see words in action
And active minds breed active dreams
I have been creative enough tonight
Rest is what I've deserved for so long
Nothing is as it seems anymore
It is hard to keep control
My emotions are in turmoil
But seeing things at a different angle
Helped me to understand some things
Loneliness is not a curse
It is in fact a gift
A gift to be lavished, not resented
For who knows when
The chance to soul-search will arrive again
But I must go
The pen slips from my weary fingers
I know not where the lines are
My final thought for this evening
Is that my life lies in the hands
Of those who regard me to be special
