Night

Oh night, that time when nothing alludes us.. when we think about the past, present, future, and everything in between.... the time where the blackness refuses to be quiet, and the quiet seems to sing. That time when you dream your dreams And fight off the bad guys, When you see into yourself with the hindrances of society Night, when you lay in bed and meditate, Thinking thoughts you wish you had never thought, The time where everything is nothing, and nothing is everything Where silence is not really silence Its own reality, the thing children associate with the boogie man, The thing that brings good and bad dreams, The thing that is so foriegn and plays by its own terms Night, the beautiful, blackness that surrounds us all. The blackness with beautiful twinkling lights, The dark the points out your flaws The dark that never lets you escape
