After Midnight

It’s after midnight, as my muse carries a lot on my mind
Putting words onto paper in my reach that I can find
So many things that have dressed me for so long
Always reviewing the balance of rights and wrong
I was just a young girl, when I could view things this way
Too early for my age, but reasons carried me each day
I have wishes and dreams, living on like anyone
Love that flourishes, for we are all equal like one
Work and goals always continuing to play a part
In a life with ambition that was growing from the start
But simplicity is important like a star in the sky at night
A creation to be grateful for with every welcoming sight
Now, a discovery shuts my eyes this hour to sleep
To enter recurring dreams of you, I will always keep
