Escaping Darkness
We sit in darkness
hours before sunrise
unable to sleep,
listening
to the faint sounds off in the distance
windows open
letting in the cool of autumn,
breathing
waiting on change
hoping for enlightenment
progress, hope, fulfilled promises,
heartbeats
echoing the steady pump
wishing for more
aching at it's delay,
knowing
the sun will rise
once again.
