The sun has set on another day
I feel so far away
Removed and distant
A spark ignited
Like a trick candle
I flicker with hope
Then disappear
Briefly
Until the flame reappears
I hear whispers in the dark
Echoes that reverberate
Words that resonate
Is it but a thought
Or something that lies deeper
Within this well
Emotions ping like a long-awaited text
Feelings long forgotten
But not ever gone
My heart pounds
Drum, drum, drum
The pain clamored
Like cymbals that bang
With purpose, they have meaning
Or do they?
Music begets the heart
Lyrics rise from the dark
To weave a melody
Of loss
Or a tapestry of hope
As night emerges
The Moon proposes
To the bright stars
Under which we dance
And close our eyes
Until tomorrow then
We will begin again
