I am a kind of night owl, but retired, just cannot sleep good at nights unless taking a prescribed sleeping pill from my dr. It is so long til daylight sometimes, and it disturbs me to no end.

Gorgeous thoughts here, laced together with a hint of classicism. Flows effortlessly too. This, in my realm of experience, is another you Sheila. And I dig it! That special night when inspiration wrapped around your heart and mind and your words became a gem to be treasured.
Blessings ...

You've given a wonderful description of "night". The words that tapped deep feelings inside me were " `Tis that lonely whistle of wind" It brought back memories of all those ghost stories my grandmother used to tell.

Oh Shiela, you must have been gazing into my heart as well when you wrote this moving saga of midnight blues. I spent most of last night awake listening to thunder and watching the lighting flash across the sky and your poem wonderfully describes the melancholly of the mood I was in. Thank you for sharing.

Sheila,

This is why we call it, "The Graveyard Shift" I love the mystery and the eerie feelings your poem gives me. That 4th verse is my favorite. I hope there are many stars and bright moons to amend those dark overcast nights. Always a pleasure reading your poetry my friend. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.
