...




I don't want to sleep or stay awake anymore.


Sometimes I just want to stay in this silent, shivering interim that gasps between night and morning.






Midnight. How lovely.


I don't know why I love the early hours so much... maybe it's simply the stillness, the solitude... the beauty of looking out the snow-kissed windows and realizing that your little part of the world is asleep.
But you're not.


It really is beautiful.






The world is white. The trees are crystalline, cautious claws of white reaching desperately for the stars...
Down below, on the road, no cars pass by. If I close my eyes and listen, the silence is deafening.


Streetlights stand alone, tired soldiers on the graveyard shift. Sighing in their orange glow. My little world turns the color of yesterday's sunshine.


Music echoes softly in my head alone. Melancholy piano and a single voice... I could do the same.


In this tiny universe, this elusive hour which I can reach out and hold, can call my own... in this black-velvet bubble of time, I am free from reality...free from the world.




Johnny had the right idea.
