Midnight Thoughts
March 16, 2023
Wandering through your mind like a crow in a wheat field
Not a single worry of what thoughts come up in that empty void
Trudging through the dark abyss, that is your perception of reality
The incandescent light emitting from the moon remains the only luminescence in the thing we call life
Those dark times coming and going like the waves of the ocean crashing against the shore and pulling back
Everything within your line of vision seems to be the reflection of that deep, aching feeling in your soul
Trees rustling their leaves wake you up to what is really there
Your head burns like the black asphalt on the roads on a hot summer day
Deathly stares from everyone around you, yet no one is there
The thought that maybe there really is a light somewhere out there
Maybe that light is you, returning to me from the depths of guilt and remorse
This may be the end, but the thoughts continue racing…never-ending
