The Night

All sorts of rain gathered around the sun today.
Clouds, soaking with color,
Gently revealed a different kind of silence.
My body sinks into the earth,
Weighed down by stones coated with thick discomfort.

I want to breathe.
All I can hear is the sound of the wind,
Quietly stealing my air.
My lungs push into the walls of their cage,
Leaving me anxious, waiting for the day to end.

But tonight…
I will run alongside the wolves,
Follow them as they chase the moon,
Mimic their proud howls to the sky,
A truly wonderful sound.

For these stones are lifted as the sun retires.
I find my freedom in the stars,
My inspiration in the farthest corners of our world,
My love while wandering in the dark.
And tonight, I will breathe.
