Insomnia

Original Composition of Rain Gamboa

It is so quiet. So still. So peaceful.
At night, when only I is thinking
Living, and waiting for beauty
To unfold itself while the
Whole world sleeps.

Only I who is awake
Can appreciate the silence.
Only I who is ready can
Hear the music of the night;
When even the smallest insect's
Voice seems to sing beautifully
In the darkness.

As dawn slowly comes,
I feel ready to sleep then.
Knowing that the usual noise
Of the world will soon come.
Life's ugliness and chaos
Start to disturb earth's beauty

I start to sleep. Close my eyes.
And later, when everybody
Starts to sleep, I will wake then
And welcome the
Silent Beauty of my world.
