In the dark

Sound is peace
Without sounds
Left and right I listen
With hope I stare
Till the noon I'm awake
Before sunrise I sleep
Sound is peace as I say
Up in the sky I stare
Stars with no light is amazing
Life is confusing as a puzzle
Take a while to sort it out
Without fear I stare
Till morning comes
The beauty of life at night
With snores and coughs
Around the corner
Every body sleeping
I stare awake alone I listen
Till morning comes I'm alive
Busy my mind keeps
Can't even sleep at night
I shake as I think
With prayer I live
Until then let me stare
Awake I lay till sunrise
