MY PASSION
Third night in a row you kept me up past midnight. This will have to stop…eventually. I can’t take the black circles under my eyes much longer, nor the fatigue. Yet, my brain remains animated, hungry for more. Tangled with my emotions, dripping with my creativity, hanging on to my every word. At least for one more night…I write.
