it’s night and i am long awake
the rain has stopped and everything is quiet
i am contemplating a new journey
in the same place
no one will know that i have changed
i am restless but not moving
tired but not sleepy
going but not gone
i am looking at things with new eyes
created during a pandemic
forcing me to search inward
it’s night and i can be the wild one
locked deep inside
but maybe just maybe
i found the key
