Each night brings some new terror:
I, prey to some strange hunter.
Tonight, there's no rest
Life's seconds tick past
Hold! here; now gone, forever
Sleepless Nights: A Limerick

I wrote this last night, when I could just not go to sleep. It's more about the value of the time we let slip through our fingers than night terrors, actually. Unusual to have a Limerick that isn't funny, but I didn't want to write a Haiku, my first choice.
