It’s in these dark moments
When the night is still
I sit quietly, listening for an answer
Even a whisper will do
But like all futile desires
I wait in abandoned apprehension
For I know the likelihood
Is a ruse I dare not believe
And why must I dwell on answers
That I know aren’t really there
It just seems easier
To surrender to defeat

Steaming smokestacks fade
Against a hazy world
I often feel the same

I want to live
Where the waves crash upon the shore
To hear those tumultuous waves
Pounding like pistons
Smoothing every jagged rock
With timeless precision
Ever reminding me
Of the silver linings
Found in my afflictions
For with every persistent beating
Comes polished perfection

As my eyes open
The light deflects my thoughts
Like insects they scurry away
Leaving a trail of unfinished reflections
This is why I write so much better
When I’m on the verge of dreaming
In darkness and seclusion
Is where most of my ideas are born
Just like the vast oceans
Teeming with animals we’ve never seen
So it is the same way with my mind
In deep, dark solitude ― I prevail
