Nightwaves

Reflections of the day traverse
the thought patterns that could be worse.

A sleep that carries strange new dreams
or no sleep now's fated it seems.

Yet in the silent chill of night
you just may find some wise insight.

Of broken paths and reckless wants
the righteous one is that which haunts.

It takes away the need to feel
exacting pain which does reveal.

The message written on the wind
the only one you can rescind.

And when your destiny is clear
stand up erect and show no fear.

Go soft into the early light
and live this day with all your might.
