Midnight

It's not today
But tomorrow isn't here yet
It's that mysterious time again
When clocks go strange
The sky is black
And sleep is meant to be
(But rarely is)
Your one and only friend
It's a seductive hour
One of kisses and sighs
As lovers embrace
And cats prowl the streets
The nocturnal are awake
The vampires are up again
The humans are asleep
Except the insomniacs
And the late-nighters
It's a weird hour
An indefinite hour
Full of ambiguity
The promise of tomorrow
And the laughter and tears of today
A new date, a new day, a new year
It's midnight again.
