Writing in the dark

Sometimes I find that thoughts come to me at night. Ones that I need to record. Phrases that sound good (though not always so good the next morning). Anyway, for this purpose I keep a small notepad and pencil by the bed. Not wanting to switch on the light, I write in the dark. Mostly the result are fine, but occasionally the scribble becomes indecipherable. Perhaps these writings take on a form and meaning of their own.
