Late Night Revelations

There are angels.

There’s the man who offers you a jump in a parking garage after you’ve tried two sets of cables and cried.

There’s the parking garage security that offers you a charge and a drink.

There are your in-laws that would give you the literal shirt off their backs, every time. No questions.

This doesn’t rhyme because it doesn’t have to.

The world works in mysterious ways that don’t always line up with time.

There are particles in your eyes that don’t always make you cry but when they do the shore breaks somewhere off in the distant line of sun. There is crisp air and apple pies. There is wine.

There are times where the street lights illuminate more than the sun ever could.

There is more to be thankful for than you’ll ever really see. Hotel coffee and the love of your short life.

They took way too many mistakes and too much time to find.

It never stops. It always stops.

Your heart beats backwards at twilight. Your bed is your home and your comfort.

A cold beer is better in warm hands and houses.

A drive is better on a dirt road with twang in the background.

A mental breakdown is to start anew.

I’ve spent all this time with so many questions and ponderings.

God is good and *** is better.

Chin up chest out and **** em to high heaven. Every single time.

 

First time I’ve written anything in years. Enjoy it and go with god. He’s out there.
