• I close my eyes, calling all of my sights to me
    The snow and flowers dancing around me,
    The full moon hanging high for all to see.

    The thumping sound in my ears,
    I realize is the rain
    Words whisper to me at night
    My lonely lullaby slipping past my lips
    A silent sonata of the hollow night

    I imagine the places casting an n illusion. The soft covers of my bed,
    The burning sensation of tea,
    A feeling that doesn’t belong
    Cool night air

    My thoughts illuminate the road
    “Why can’t I do this?”
    “Faster, better, more precise!”
    Though they do not say it, I know
    “You’re not good enough”
    Their thoughts linger in my mind.

    Memories flash before my eyes
    My brother’s faces
    Mum, dad, aunt, uncle
    Forming and breaking bonds,
    All of my senses whirl around me
    Like a mirage of feelings

    A smile graces my lips
    I open my eyes
    The light blinds me
    Everything around me is the night
    And it will all fade away into dawn.
