and as i walk through the night i wonder what it was all truly for,
shadows seem to chase me as i melt into the sounds of a world i've ignored for far too long. a cricket who serves no purpose but to annoy me, a dog who barks as i walk by, the wind that thinks my hair should be in my mouth, and the moon that doesn't want me to be too lost in the dark of the night. i walk and walk and never truly know where i'm going. i'm simply walking, just to see where it all takes me.
"but why do i march on"
i ask, as though someone could even answer
"because life is still beautiful, even if you cannot see it."
is how i imagine god would care to answer
and i smile
and i see you in the stars
and i continue walking, ever forward
into the night
