Midnight Epiphanies

I can't sleep at night
so I lay and ponder
about normal things mostly
over the day my mind will roll
and upon my future I sometimes pause.
I think of projects I want to start
and goals long far off.
Then sometimes,
in the darkness,
and tinkering of thoughts
somthing extraordinary will occur.
At least it is to me.
A joyful apark will shoot
and sometimes if only for a moment
in the haze betwwen sleep and wakefullness,
I will hit genius!
Ideas come
only the memory of their greatness lingers in the morning.
Nothing of their substance
but nonetheless I know they are great.
Sometimes I am lucky enough to write them down.
Ideas like: If everyone always wore nametags the world would be a much friendlier place.
And I love the genius of the nighttime.
