All the Little Midnight Lights

 

To awaken in the middle of the night

Is to realize that this midnight dream

Is a fairyland of points of light

Arcing and soaring like a magic stream

 

The curious visions before your flickering eyes

Begin to focus as strange, blue-lit scenes

In a half-awake haze you realize

The lights are from all your little machines

 

Manufactured by men, mechanical light

And somehow that just doesn’t seem quite right
