People die at 3 a.m.
It's a popular time
To succumb
People cry at 3 a.m.
The velvet darkness
Is a friend
The past's alive at 3 a.m.
The future clashes
With it then
The future looms at 3 a.m.
Its less optimistic
Than in the sun
Leavings are planned at 3 a.m.
No stopping time
Nowhere to run

Made me smile.
That's good....... the sun must be up.
All that while we're asleep - well, usually, or hopefully!
Xactly Orchi........ best escape is to be asleep at that time!
Lorna,
So uncanny that you chose this particular time to write about. My father died at 3:00a.m. on a Monday !
You’re so right...
“No stopping time
Nowhere to run”
Loved the write complemented with the pic and video! Perfectly orchestrated!
~Laura~
You're always so nice Laura........ Not sure I always deserve the favs though..... 3 a.m. is infamous........... There's Frank Sinatra's song also: One for My Baby (and One More for the Road) - that was a quarter to 3........
Lorna,
Don’t shortchange yourself! You deserve all the favs you get!
When I read a verse and I think it deserves a comment, I will comment and save it in my favs!
Yes, ol blue eyes! A former boss of mine introduced me to Frank Sinatra’s music! He was obsessed with Sinatra! When he passed away (my former boss), he left me his entire collection of Sinatra’s music!
~Laura~
What a great tribute from your boss..... he must have thought a lot of you Laura............ and what a nice way to remember him every time you play one......
Yes, he was great! I do miss him!
Yes those early hours certainly have something. I know i have written many pieces during them when night has solidly settled but i can't.
Your piece is so easily readable and entertaining whilst having depth but, i'm glad to say, no darkness.
Wish i'd written it!!! LOL It's going into my favourites.
Wow- thanks!
Thankfully I'm always fast asleep at 3am - great write Lorna
Very good write. 3am is the time that I remember something I have been trying to remember all day!
