darkness wraps the Earth
lights twinkling all around
afraid of the dark

i hear your pain
echoing in my heart.
so afraid of being alone
yet pushing me away.
the same song sung
day after day
decade following decade
from lifetime to lifetime.

swiftly
the world
turning
on the axis
spinning
till we
all
fall
down

emotions dripping from
my fingertips
rolling and twisting as
they fall splashing
to the ground
forming puddles
that only i can see.

darkness is giving
way to the light of the dawn
morning arrives soon

contemplating life
on a boring conference call
there must be more, right?

i reach out, no return
is everything okay there
peering in the dark
