5 a.m.

at 5 a.m.
when night closes its lids
quite tight over the world
your heartbeat hovers
quietly over the moonlit crest
of the forest's shaded slumber
dissolved at first dawn's shimmer.

I've developed sleeping problems in my old age. I can verify the darkness at 5 a.m. as well as the dawn's shimmer.

Hope that you will not experience this time of day awake too often : )
