I Love 4 o Clock in the Morning

I love 4 o clock in the morning
when I can sit in the dark
and write on a piece of paper
with a pen I can hold but not see
and scribble words
without thinking too much.

I love 4 o clock in the morning
when it is so quiet and empty
that it's possible to smell the ink of my pen
and hear the sound of my handwriting
and see the outline of the paper
through my fingers.

I love 4 o clock in the morning
when a thought that had been
sitting in a corner all day
can finally come to light
in the dark.

I love 4 o clock in the morning
it’s the most beautiful hour
when you talk only to people
who matter
and when you think of things
that are most important to you.

I love 4 o clock in the morning
because though technically you’ll say
that it’s morning
and a new day is beginning
For me, it's just the calm peaceful end
to a day full of chaos.

I just love 4 o clock in the morning.



P.s- as a rule, anybody who writes should ALWAYS keep a pen and paper by the bedside.
