Anthem of the After-Hour
A leitmotif of self-discovery
Sing me a song of the setting sun,
as the moon begins to rise,
where the timbre of the darkness
syncopates with fireflies.
Then let me sit in stillness
until the dark around me flows
through a mind that seldom travels
where the heart, repeated, goes.
It's here that I'll find solace
and the truest form of me
away from life's dictations
of who I'm meant to be.
Though Sleep may never find me,
Rest and Dreams will make their way
and we'll rehearse a future
put on pause by light of day.
May the night be ever friendly
to those who seem to thrive
not among the day's distractions,
but in nature, the most alive.
