Good Night

I lay down and think.

I think about the green of my tea 

The gleam in my window that I needed to clean today,

I think about my shoes 

How much I walked today 

And finally my homework

So much homework

Darkness begins to take over my room

The light of the moon covers my room

My ceiling

My windows 

And my mirrors 

My thoughts changes

To homework 

To you

I've managed to put you off all day 

And there you are 

In my dreams 

My nightmares 

And finally my conscious 

Everywhere 

It always comes back to you.

  • God

    As children we are taught God was the big man in the sky

    He who watches over, tall and overbearing

    Thorns stapled to his head and bleeding, he was resurrected for us

  • He Who Watches

    A branch hangs low pulled lower by a decorated box 

    Inlaid with blue and red faded by the elements the box hangs 

    It floats strung up with ever so thin twine 

  • Lights Up

    A person gone within thin air

    A colorful soul who was granted a short guarantee 

    A person

    A being

    You spoke to me

    To many others
