Such darkness in the mid-night hours
beckons the darkness of the heart.
Alone in the stillness, except for that familiar ache
that keeps me company much too often.
Searching for answers in the stillness
but afraid that this is it.
This is all there is.
Tears burn hot,
despair widens across my chest.
Staring out the front door
I can't help but wonder
who else is standing on the edge,
desperate to step out into the unknown
but tethered still by fear.
I cannot be the only one.
Perhaps if we all moved together
out past where we've always stood
our momentum could turn the world
just enough to bring us into a gathering light
that would brighten with every step.
