A Restless Night (by Joe DiMino)

 

Often I have looked at stars--

and thought each the twinkle

in a distant eye--

or a candle flickering

in yonder deep,

where a throng of Mimis

search without sleep....

 

Where is that confounded key?--

the one that fits my book of prayer--

the one I take to heaven and share

all I relinquish

and all that I bear--
