It fell silent, and I don’t know when. The streets lay empty and motionless. The lights dulled to a deep orange, browned with age and creating a soft numbing image. I stared and wondered why life had become so dull. It became a life without a beat, frantically trying to make itself one. Standing on my hearts porch, started to think and then again I couldn’t stop. I took a foot off and with the first touch I quickly planted another. The beats of my feet marched me. Set me into a rhythm. My own rhythm.
