Unfounded
Some thoughts tonight kept me at bay
Some night tonight leaves me unfounded
Somewhere for no place to stay
Some place for words… be rewarded
If I have listen, did I hear?
Like having words I did not write
If I have thoughts, did it appear?
Like a self in an open world, having to hide
Perhaps this night is at fault
A night never meant for nights for me
Perhaps rather, too eager to be caught
For nights never meant for a night to be
A wordless night… I have words
Yet too much for a mind to have arrange
Yet simply to write… I’ll be heard
For everyone, if myself… did we change?
Some thoughts tonight… stayed
This night tonight, I’m rewarded
Some mind for thoughts to simply say
For nights like tonight to leave me unfounded
