Night Wanderer

Night Wanderer


Days are easier
Filling up the sunshine hours
With any mundane or complex task
That distracts the mind
Through the simple preoccupation of time
Moving from one project to the next
Do this
Do that
Do this other thing
Do that again
And suddenly the day is gone
And I haven’t thought about you once

Nights are harder
Dark hours spent alone
In constant negotiation
Between sleep and wakefulness
When my mind is left to wander at will
It ambles
Meanders
Saunters
And strolls
Traipsing through stars
Sleepwalking itself all the way
Back to you
