3 AM
At 3 AM, the house lies silent, I'm awake in a sleeping world, Aware of all around me, Unmindful of the morrow. Reclining on the sofa, Gazing at the ceiling high, Soundless moments envelope, Tranquil hush in the air. Now begins my cherished playlist, Headphones snug upon my ears, Tunes of the 3 AM hour, World's noise is left behind. As if time has paused its march, It's just my playlist and me, In my mind's eye, I sway and twirl, Embracing freedom's sweet embrace, Released from all that binds me. _ Gladwill Maiyo_
