Quirks of Night

In darkness of the night

In the bed, on the couch

One waits for sleep

To kiss one’s eyes

There’s not much thought

Dead silence rules

In that lonesome state of mind

A lot is revealed

That daylights won’t show

Though night has that quirk

Takes one back

To relive the hurts

And past losses
