The evening passes into tomorrow
I grieve the loss of the day
even though
all things expected
I will wake
Today I found myself
just briefly
not noticing myself
(This can only be appreciated
if you are one
who understands
what it means
to walk
this world being
weighed down with
the sound of
your own voice)
The freedom from my
own tyranny will not last
but the respite has embraced tonight
with softness and warmth
