God I love the night
Like a restless slumber
I go down
To arrive
In energetic vibrations
Humming with the stars
Not a lullaby
But secrets
Too rich
And too guarded
For the light of day
As the thick haze gives way
To the muggy blackness
Warmed over by streetlights
Headlights
And glowing neon signs
I’ve always been at home here
Half hidden in the shadows
Bolder under the covers
Where certain eyes cannot follow
I go here sometimes
To remember
The heartbeat
Of the night
And that nothing really sleeps
Only changes form
Compelled by the night air
And all the possibilities that exist
Before tomorrow
