nightlight
Emma Augustus Jul 2023
i know where i am
yet i am no where to find

i know where i stand
yet i don't see a light

in the mits of the dark
i expect non

but here in the sun
light does belong

and so i go
and leave my stand
to see if the light
is somewhere to find

and as i mark my steps
into the sand
and leave my trace
for another friend
i can see the light so bright
somewhere up there
behind the night

Nightlight
Emma Augustus Jul 2023
I know where I am.
Yet I am no where to find.
I know where I stand.
Yet I don't see a light.
In the mits of the dark, I expect non.
But here in the sun, light does belong.
And so I go, and leave my stand,
to see if the light, is somewhere to find.
And as I mark my steps, into the sand,
and leave my trace, for another friend,
I can see the light so bright,
somehwhere up there,
behind the night.
