walking down a street
pitch black, not a soul lurks
houses quiet and unassuming
feet pound to a beat

dizzy, i stumble
mind wanders aimlessly
raindrops graze my face
in distress, i tumble

where could i be
such a lovely place
peace transient but unwavering
a light i begin to see

blocks go by
puddles pool deep
time stands still
my body rises high

fingers tingle with bliss
home stares me down
truth within a myth
reality never as good as this

lost but cant lament
i am finally here
journey long and painful
confused but content
