The Bright 12 Hours

It's liberating, the dust no longer
leaking from the corners of my lips.
It's fascinating, how one good day
can make you pray it stays this way.

I hum practically anything that
gives me wisdom.
And I thought, particularly, that
this one wasn't indigo.

But gradually, I snap back to
my own reality and I ask myself-
why didn't I think of those words?
perhaps I'm not as original as I
thought.

I feel the obligation to give you
the best I got
but give me a moment, I'll bring it last
not until I rest my eyes, rewatching my past.
