Day 17
I write to you in deep night
While rain falls
I wait for sleep to steal me
But I have been awake for years
I hear more clearly in darkness
Sitting with the sky
Listening
Later a storm will rattle the window
Thunder will shake the building
Before passing
Morning will come
dressed in last night’s dreams
I will remember them
Over coffee
I will write about
what I dont want to write about
Until it strangles me
Pulls me inside out
And leaves breathless
On the floor
I will write myself
Into life
As dawn spreads wings
And smiles to reveal
The azure sky
I will write to you in deep night
Words you may never read
But somehow
I hope you feel them
As I do
Like a walk through
My soul’s estate
