as i walk through the streets tonight the world has taken a break the only guide is a street light that shows i'm the only one awake my thoughts wander through my head like birds chirping in my ear i feel that i should really be in bed but the silence is all i hear the moon hangs low reflecting off the damp street it possess an iridescent glow that replaces the absence of heat i slowly begin to drift away as the darkness engulfs me even more i start to spin and sway as the night closes its door the sun emerges from its slumber today as the moon falls into the sky i feel that today might be a better day and not a sad goodbye
