Minutes Before

& deep between the hair strings of the night 
my eyes felt the touch of light 
Like daylight, it was bright 
Flying to alight 

from beneath the colorless stairs above the balcony i grabbed sight 
far above the clouds-i counted height 
with angels to catch flight 

i redirected my feet upright 
and crossed fingers around Hope tight 
Submitting punches to win fight
and it was the night i obtained site.
